Lesson Plan 2
Lesson Plan 2
Lesson Number: 2
Background:
The students have a decent knowledge base of multiplication and division facts, and can recall
these facts fairly quickly, sometimes needed help from their fact charts in their journals.
Students will read many different multiplication and division fact questions using prior
knowledge of math vocabulary words.
Teacher Materials/Resources:
I Have, Who Has multiplication fact cards (Already printed out in top desk drawer)
Link if needed: https://www.superteacherworksheets.com/multiplication/multiplicationihavewhohas_TWZDR.pdf
A copy of I Have, Who Has answer chain sheet (attached at end of lesson plan)
Answer key to scavenger hunt activity sheet (attached at end of lesson plan)
Index cards with student names (Held by magnet up on the front whiteboard)
Student Materials:
Pencil
4. Anticipatory- Tell the students that to kick off our fun math review day we will be
playing a few rounds of multiplication I Have, Who Has? (Pg. 85 in book)
(Verbal/Linguistic). Grab the stack of cards from my top desk drawer, along with the
answer chain page. Make sure cards are shuffled. Pass out cards, starting with one card
per student. If there are cards left over, ask students who would like another card to raise
their hands and continue to pass out until no cards are left over. The first question on the
answer chain is I have 35, who has 4x4?, so ask for the student who has 35 to raise
their hand, and then tell them to read their Who has question (reading and speaking).
This will start the chain going, and make sure to follow along closely with the answer
sheet in case a student makes a mistake and breaks the chain. If this happens, simply
pause the game and backtrack to the problem question. Gently give the correct answer
and continue with the chain. Once the chain gets back to the first question, 35, the round
is over. As long as time allows, continue to do more rounds and use a timer to see if the
students can go faster and beat their time. They love doing this. (Total time: max 15
minutes)
5. After 15 minutes has passed, end the game and praise the students for their phenomenal
multiplication abilities! Collect the cards from each student and safely return the deck
and answer sheet to my top desk drawer.
6. Tell the students that our next activity will be a fact scavenger hunt! (Pg. 91 in book)
(Bodily/Kinesthetic) Pass out the activity sheet and make sure every student has one.
Once all sheets are distributed, explain to the students the rules and steps of the activity:
(listening)
Every student will be responsible for finding the answer to one question on the
sheet, which you will assign to them.
After each student has been assigned their individual question, they will have 5
minutes to work independently on figuring out the answer.
The students will then be able to get up and walk around the room, using all the
people and resources to obtain the rest of the answers. The students will have
about 15 minutes to complete their worksheets.
At the end of time, the students will return to their seats and spend another 5
minutes finishing any problems that are left over.
7. After these rules have been explained to the class, grab the index cards with the students
names. Assign #1 on the scavenger sheet to the first card you pull from the stack, and
continue to go down the list and pull name cards until every student has 1 question to
focus on.
8. Instruct the students to silently work on ONLY THEIR ASSIGNED PROBLEM for a
total of 5 minutes (writing). Tell the students that once they have finished their individual
problem, they must bring it up and have their answer checked by you before continuing
with the activity.
9.
Set the timer on my desk for 15 minutes and allow the students to begin walking around
the room and finding the missing answers they need from their peers (speaking). Walk
around the room with them and make sure students are staying focused and completing
the task at hand.
10. Once the timer has gone off after 15 minutes, tell the students that it is time to return to
their seats. Tell them that they will now have another 5 minutes to silently work on any
problems that they have not finished yet (writing). After these 5 minutes are over, collect
all of the scavenger hunt sheets, which I will grade later as an evaluation of learning.
11. For the remaining 15 minutes of class, tell the students that we will play a game called
Fact Dash, using the Smartboard at the front of the room. The students have played this
game many times before in class and really enjoy it. (Link to this game listed in teacher
materials)
12. Turn on the projector, which is already connected to my computer. Pull up the Fact Dash
website (link in teacher materials) and make it full screen. Go to the front of the room and
turn on the Smartboard. Start with one round of the game, which will simply ask for
answers to multiplication and division facts within a time limit. Use the name index cards
to call students up to the board one at a time to answer the Fact Dash questions.
(Bodily/Kinesthetic & Visual) The students can use the Smartboard pen to tap the
correct answer on the board. Go through as many rounds as time allows.
13. Closure: Once it is almost noon and time for the students to leave, turn the projector off
and have students sit quietly in their desk. Talk to the students about how important it is
to memorize multiplication and division facts, because they will use them in math for the
rest of their lives. Having review days like they did in class today, as well as practicing
on your own, will help memorization to become easier and easier. Praise them for
working so hard today and for doing such a great job working on their facts.
14. At this time, the math block is now over and the students are dismissed to go to recess.
Closure:
Talk to the students about how important it is to memorize multiplication and division facts,
because they will use them in math for the rest of their lives. Remind them to practice on their
own whenever they can, using their flash cards or chart. Having review days like we did in class
today, as well as practicing on your own, will help memorization to become easier and easier.
Praise them for working so hard today and for doing such a great job working on their facts. This
will help the students to feel proud of themselves, and encourage them to keep practicing on their
own.
Evaluation of Learning:
This whole review day will be an evaluation of learning, I will be able to tell how well the
students know their multiplication and division facts through their individual and overall success
with the three activities. I will actually grade the scavenger hunt worksheet to see how well the
students worked together to come up with the correct answers.
Remediation: For students that I notice are struggling with their facts, I will invite to
come to my classroom during FlexTime for the next few days, where we will go over
what was learned in math class that day.
Extend/Enrich: For students who are doing exceptionally well with their facts and finish
the scavenger hunt early, I would ask them if they would like to walk around with me and
help check answers for other students.
Independent Practice: Students have multiplication facts flash cards they can practice
with at any time on their own, as well as a multiplication chart in their math journals.
No major provisions in the evaluation of learning need to be made, the student may use
their vocabulary cards to assist with any math words they are unsure of, whether at school
or at home for independent practice.
Again, no major provisions need to be made with the evaluation of learning, the student
will be able to do independent practice just fine on his own, and will be evaluated just the
same as any other student.
