UNIT INTRODUCTION &
RATIONALE
RATIONALE:
Purpose: In both parts of this unit, subtraction and multiplication & division, students will be working on their number sense. As
stated within the Program of Studies (p.7), “Number sense is an intuition about numbers – a true sense of numbers includes and
goes beyond the skills of counting, memorizing facts and the situational rote use of algorithms”. Furthermore, number sense is
developed by providing rich mathematical tasks that ultimately allow students to make connections to their own experiences and
their previous learning.
To ensure that students can develop number sense through engagement and curiosity, the units focus primarily on the applicability
of games in developing number sense. Students will discover, through games how mathematics is embedded in our everyday
activities, even in our play (POS p.2). Being able to appreciate and value mathematics is one of the main goals of mathematics
education: the use of games will help fulfill this goal by allowing students to determine to what degree math can be fun. From
personal experience, mathematics within the classroom, if presented ineffectively, can be dehumanizing, unengaging and
irrelevant. When mathematical concepts are not taught in accordance to students’ personal needs and interests existing outside of
the classroom, it can be challenging to find personal meaningful and relevancy in obtaining facts and concepts. Therefore, by
presenting math in a game-like fashion, students will hopefully find math both meaningful and exciting, increasing students’
curiosity of math in their lives.
Throughout the course, students will engage in worksheets and activities that incorporate games to help them identify relevancy
and personal satisfaction of applying math. Alongside a test, students will participate in a project where they either create or
modify a game that applies subtraction, multiplication and division. By personally creating their own mathematical games,
students will be able to engage and persevere in mathematical concepts whilst exhibiting a curiosity for math (POS p.3).

Authentic problem solving: Alongside identifying the applicability of math in everyday play-like scenarios, students additionally
need to be presented with working world scenarios where they can apply math to solve problems. “A key component to
successfully developing numeracy is making connections to backgrounds and experiences” (POS, p.1). By incorporating students’
interests, background and experiences in an assortment of problem-solving scenarios, students are able to recognize the relevancy
and applicability of math within their own personal lives. Students will be exposed to an array of problem-solving situations in
classroom activities, in discussions, and in worksheets to help them develop perseverance of mathematical concepts. “Students
need to explore problem-solving situations in order to develop personal strategies and become mathematically literate” (POS, p.1).
To ensure students feel able to solve issues by applying mathematical concepts problems will be presented in a way that allows
them to experiment with a variety of solutions and strategies that best suit their learning styles and needs.

POS p.6 “students develop their own problem-solving strategies by listening to, discussing and trying different strategies”

Multi-modality Assessment - Concrete, Pictorial and Symbolic Considerations: In these units, students will be provided with
both project and test to ensure they are provided sufficient opportunities to demonstrate their mathematical abilities in various
contexts. By offering a project that allows students to create or modify a game that applies subtraction, multiplication and
division, students will be able to…
Additionally, the use of a test for assessment allows students to demonstrate their mathematical understandings both pictorially
and symbolically. Worksheets provided beforehand will provide students ample opportunities to develop mathematical
understandings both concretely, pictorially and symbolically in order to adequately prepare them for testing.

POS p.1 “ the use of manipulative in a variety of pedagogical approaches, teachers can address the diverse learning styles, cultural
backgrounds and development stages of students”
POS p.1 “students benefit from working with a variety of materials, tools and contexts when constructing meaning about new
mathematical ideas”

Personal Mental Math Strategies: An essential component to developing number sense is developing and applying mental
strategies that
POS p.5 “mental mathematics in a combination of cognitive strategies that enhance flexible thinking and number snse. It is
calculating mentally without the use of enternal memory aids”

Assessment Worksheet
Observation
Math Journal
Learning Activity(s) Attention grabber: make a million (addition)
 How far away are you from making 1 million (subtraction relationship).
 Do the opposite: make a zero.

Classroom discussion: what is the similarity between addition and subtraction?


(subtraction is the opposite of addition).
Classroom example – go over together (relating addition to subtraction)
I have 5 basketballs. What are 2 addition facts you can write about my basketballs?
What are 2 subtraction facts? Subtraction is the opposite of addition.
- Example 2 + 3 = 5 & 1 + 4 = 5.
- Subtraction facts: 5 – 2 = 3 & 5 – 1 = 4.

Do questions, then share with a partner which strategies you solved. Go over as a class.
Questions: (explain that some of these numbers might be hard to solve since they are so
big – it is okay if we don’t get the right answer right away. Work with partners to see if
you can solve any of the subtraction – next class we will go over some different digits to
help us solve big questions).
1) 95 - 13
2) 56 - 68
3) 480 - 14
4) 715 - 228
5) 2657 - 1789

Go over 5) to show relation between addition. I was having a hard time solving it since it
was such large numbers, so I did a number line with addition to help me.
(show on a number line: 1789 + 1 = 1780. (what could I do next; example: 1780 + 20 =
1800. 1800 + 200 = 2000. 2000 + 600 = 2600. 2600 + 57 = 2657) (add skipped numbers
(1, 20, 200, 600, 57 and add up to 868). Check and show that 2657 – 1789 = 868).
Relative Questions:
 which strategy did you use (how did you solve this question)?
 find someone who did it differently – do both ways work?
 Teacher: this is how I did it.
 Provide a few new questions – have students solve it using a new learnt method.

Game: groups of two - Over the mountain (1-18) (could change numbers) – roll 3 dice

1. make addition equations.
2. Make subtraction equations.
3. Provide over the mountain sheet; students check off all the mountain numbers and
write down their equations.

Math journal: have students refer to the game.


- How might I use this game to teach a younger friend/sibling about addition or
subtraction?

Pattern Blocks Problem: Dump a pile of assorted pattern blocks onto the workspace.
Assign each pattern block a value, for example, hexagons are worth 10, trapezoids are
worth 5, etc. Blocks can only be valued up to 50. Write down your values so you don’t
forget! An option is to write the value directly onto the pattern block using a whiteboard
marker.
Explore:
1. What is the value of your pile.
2. How can you make a number between 40 and 50.
3. Estimate who in the room has the greatest value, the least value.
4. Determine who in the room has the greatest value, the least value.
5. Make a picture with the pattern blocks which have a value near 100.

can find them all. Write down how many there is of each item.
When you find them, see if there is a way to find the answer without counting each one
individually.
Examples:
 Stacks of books misplaced in equal groupings
 Pencils in tin cans in equal groupings

go over as a class together; discuss how they might have found answers without counting
each item individually.

Explain to students that multiplication is finding the product (value) of equal groupings.
when you multiply, you add a certain number more than once. (Create an anchor chart for
students)
Explain that some strategies that can help students solve multiplication equations are:
1) Making equal groupings
2) Repeating addition

Game: MULTIPLICATION UNO


Instructions: each students is dealt 7 cards and the remaining cards are placed in the
center. The object of the game is to get rid of all the cards you are dealt. In the remaining
deck, one card is flipped over to begin play. Whoever can match the same number of suit
that is on the first card may play first. After a student plays their card, they must multiply
the number of the previous card and the number on the card they are playing (e.g., if an 8
of hearts is the first card laid down to begin play, one student could play an 8 of spades
and multiply 8x8).
Each numbered card is worth its own value (aces x1) (kings, queens and jacks are
multiply by 10).
King also mean draw 2 – queens are a reversal card – jack are skip-a-turns. Jokers are a a
wild card + draw 4.

Game: SPIRAL MULTIPLICATION


Spiral multiplication does require at least one or two dice (depending on-level of
difficulty) as well as individual game pieces in addition to your deck of cards

Have students create their own spiral game board with their deck of cards. They may
create the game board in any shape or style similar to a Candyland format or even just a
simple Monopoly style that repeats around. Students place their game pieces at whatever
card is established as “start.” The first player rolls the die and multiplies the number on
the die by whatever number the “start” card is. If the student gets the answer correct, he
moves the number of spaces that are shown on the die. For example, if the “start” card is a
5 and the first player rolls a 3, he must answer 15 and then move 3 spaces around the
board.

Game: MIND READER


Mind Reader specifically requires three players so that one player can act as the “leader”
and the other two players are the mind readers. Remove all face cards, Jokers, and Aces
and then split the deck in half. The two students playing as the mind readers each take half
of the deck.

The mind readers take 1 card off the top of their deck and hold it next to their forehead for
everyone else to see except for themselves. Because the leader can see both cards, she
multiplies the numbers and says the product out loud. The mind readers must decide what
number they are holding, based on knowing the product and the other mind reader’s card.

For example, suppose that the leader says, “42.” If one mind reader can see that the other
mind reader is holding a 6, she knows that her card has to be a 7. Have students rotate
duties so that each one is able to play the leader, as well as mind readers!

Instructions: remove all of the face cards, Jokers, and Aces so that only the
numbered cards 2-10 are left. Next, divide the deck evenly among all players.
Choose a target number and write it on a piece of paper nearby or whiteboard. This
target number is the number that will be multiplied by each card that students flip.

Grade 4’s:
Begin with estimating products: sometime you do not need to know the exact amount.
You only need to know about how many or how much. As estimate is close to the exact
amount.
Question on the board: e.g., a school bus can hold 64 students. About how many students
can travel on 7 school buses?
To estimate 7 x 64, think: 7 x 60. About 420 students.

DIVISION
Lesson #11 of 20

Outcome(s) Number 12: demonstrate an understanding of division (grade 3)


Assessment Observation
Worksheet
Math journal
Learning Activity(s) Introducing division: school scavenger hunt. Students work together to solve answers.
Have each student carry a pencil and worksheet to record their answers. After a few
minutes, they can see if they came up with the same answer – have students share how
they came to the answer.
Have envelopes with clues inside of them:
1. Mrs. Anderson has 54 math books in her classroom. She wants to equally divide
them into groups of 3. How many books with be in each grouping? (answer = 18)
2. Envelope 18 (leads to playground): there are 72 grade 3 and 4 students that play
on the playground each day. To play a huge game of tag, we need to equally split
the students into 6 different groups. How many students are there in each group
on the playground? (answer = 12)
3. Envelope 12 (leads to gym): there are 99 basketballs in the gym room. We need to
equally split the basketball in groups of 9 for each basketball team. How many
basketballs will go to each basketball team/group? (answer = 11)
4. Envelope 11 (leads to parking lot). There are 52 parking spaces in the parking lot
for teachers. If the parking lot has 4 rows, how many parking spaces are in each
row? (answer = 13).
5. Envelope 13 (leads to library). The school has 64 non-fiction books. 8 different
teachers want to share these books equally. How many books will each teacher
have? (answer = 8)
6. Answer 8 is on the board: Mrs. Furlanich made a batch of 20 cookies that she
wants to split equally amongst her 4 friends. If she gives an equal amount to each
friend, how many cookies does each friend get?
Allow students to work on question – have them explain how they answered the
question (some may have used addition) (option: give out cookies as a great job at
the end).

Explain that with division, we make fair shares. Division can be used to find how many
equal groups there are when you know the size of the groups, just like with our scavenger
hunt.

Worksheet – division with equal groupings.


 Use blocks. Find the number of groups. Write a division sentence for each group
(e.g., divide (equally split) 6 blocks into groups of 2)
 Draw a picture and write a number sentence to solve each problem (e.g., each
classroom has 4 desks. How many classrooms are needed to teach 20 children?
 Use blocks (draw blocks) to make equal groups to divide (e.g., 12 / 4).

Learning Activity(s) Activity: division as sharing.
Split students into groups.
Each student has (for e.g., chocolate eggs or golden coins).
1) Each bag has 15 golden coins. How can you share 15 golden coins equally among
3 other students? (now find a way to share equally among 5 players)
2) What would happen if Mrs. Furlanich gave you 5 extra coins. Could you split it
equally among 4 students? Why or why not? Can you split it among 2 other
students?
3) What would happen if Mrs. Furlanich took a few golden coins away, leaving you
with 8 coins. Now, she wants you to give 2 coins each to your friends. How many
friends will get 2 coins before you run out? (what if instead you had 12 coins.
How many friends would get 2 photos/ 4 photos?)

Explanation: division can be used to find how many are in each group when you know the
number of groups.
Explanation: you can use repeated subtraction to find answers, just like we used repeated
addition with multiplication.

Worksheet: Equal sharing


- Equal grouping
- Repeated subtraction.
- task_9c_0.pdf (corwin.com)

game: WAR
The values should be assigned as follows: Ace = 1, King = 12, Queen = 12, and Jack = 11.
Insert the face cards back into the deck, shuffle and then deal the cards evenly and face
down between the players.
On a "Ready, set, go!" count, each player turns over two cards.
Both players can use any of the four visible cards to try to find a fact family with which
they can then place in sequential order to make a division problem. For example, if Player
One revealed a 5 and a 3, and Player Two turned over a King (12) and a 4, either player
could snatch up the 4, 3, and King to create the division sentences: King ÷ 4 = 3 or King ÷
3 = 4.
The winner of the hand is the first player who is able to recognize and lay out a division
problem. Of course, the other player can check the math first!
Each player should take back his unplayed cards and start an "unused" pile. As the game
continues, each player turns up two new cards and the cards in his unused pile. This
provides more opportunity for players to create division problems. If both players can
create a problem using different cards, they both win the hand.
The game is over when there are no more cards left, or the players are unable to make any
more division problems.

4) Divide (various questions)
5) Word problems.
6) Show how to answer the problem with: arrays, repeated subtraction, and

Last activity on the work sheet: create an array city


Instructions: Using a grid paper, students starts by spinning a wheel (either make or use
via internet – random number generator) students get a number and then create/design an
array on the grid paper. For example, if a student gets the number 24, they create a
division equation and array that could equal 5 – use 2-digit numbers (e.g., 15 / 3 = 5).
Write equation somewhere in the array. Students make a city of array buildings,
skyscrapers and houses.

Game – IF TIME = GO FISH


The Division Go Fish card game is played almost exactly the same way as the
Multiplication Go Fish card game is played. The difference is that instead of creating a
multiplication problem to give a card’s value, players have to come up with a division
problem.
For example, a player who wants to find a match for his 8 could say "Do you have any 16s
divided by 2s?" or "I’m looking for a card that is a 24 divided by 3."
Deal six cards to each player and place the rest of the deck in the middle as a draw pile.
When the first player says his math sentence, the player who is being asked for the card
has to do the division, come up with the correct answer and hand over any matching cards.
If there are no matches, the first player draws a card from the deck.
When a player runs out of cards or the draw pile is gone, the game is over. The winner is
the player with the most matches.

GAME IDEAS
Card games and board games:
1. War flip two over instead of 1: either subtract or multiply.
2. Match to make 11 (lay out 3 rows. Try to find 2 cards that subtract to (eleven; could change
numbers – have a new number for each round) remove cards and set aside – replace new cards –
go until you run out of cards or cant make anymore matches (could change it up to meet different
outcomes (ace = 100, king = 1300 for bigger numbers). Could change to multiply or divide.
3. Race to 100 flip a card and subtract its value to your running total (begin with a higher number;
could do that same with dividing?) first person to reach closest to 0 without going into negatives
wins).
4. Flip: if its red, divide by ___, if its black, multiply by ____ (could use for trying different
strategies).
5. Go fish: total of 10: make an array (5x4). Students look for numbers that total 10 (subtract, divide, multiply –
write down which is which). Can keep 5 cards in hand and ask “I have a 10, do you have an ace (0) to make a 10?
(subtract)”
6. Gain and loss: start with a chosen amount (e.g., 15). Flip a card (black = for e.g., divide) (red =
multiply). Highest point total at the end wins.
7. Turnover and multiply: students pair up in 2. One person flips two cards from the deck – first to
multiply them wins and takes both cads. Winner has most cards.
8. I Spy cards: lay out cards on the table, then take turns giving blues (I spy two cards that multiply
to 25).
9. Close call: each player deals themselves 4 cards, then determine how to arrange them so they
make two 2-digit numbers that (subtract) as close as possible to (0) without going into negatives.
9) Could add more cards to get into 10,000 and 1,000 digits
10)Could use 2 cards for multiplication.
10. Pick three to make number sentences: flip 3 cards. Use them to form a valid number sentence (8 –
3 = 5) if you can, you keep the cards
11. FAST FACTS PRACTICE: lay down two cards and add, subtract, multiply or divide them.
12. READ MY MIND: groups of 3 – two students draw a card without looking and holds it up to
their forehead. Third student (different rounds – multiplies, subtracts, divides) and gives the
product (answer). Students must figure out what number each is holding.

Dice games:
1. Farkle
2. Yahtzee
3. Over the mountain (1-18 – could change numbers): play roll 3 dice (e.g., 3, 4, 6 – crosses off 1 (4 – 3
= 1) 2 (6 – 4 = 2) and 3 (6 – 3 = 3). Change to meet needs for division, multiplication, and
subtraction.
4. Roll to 99 (multiplication or division):
Challenge the teacher games. s

Game: Flip and add one or subtract one!


11) Remove the face cards from the deck – flip a card. If its red, subtract one and say that amount out loud (write on a
worksheet & check with your partner). If it’s black, add one (change numbers periodically). Whoever keeps the most
cards (got calculation right) wins.
PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT TASK AND
EVALUATION TOOL
CREATING A MATH GAME

During the past few weeks, you have been learning how to add, subtract, multip
and divide. It has been hard but rewarding work. You have put in a lot of practic
and a lot of play! As we have been using math to play games, you were asked to
think of how you might use games to teach all operations: adding, subtracting,
multiplying and dividing.
Now, as experts of all operations, your job is to create a game that includes all
operations. You can work in groups of 3. Your group can either:

1) Modify an already existing game


2) Create a new game

You have the freedom to make any type of game. Some examples are:
 Board Games
 Dice Games
 Card Games

As you work cooperatively with others to make the best math game ever, you will need to do the following:
1) Make a blueprint of your game:
Create a drawing and a brief description of your game.
Describe how it includes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Make a list of all the materials you will need to create your game
Get the teacher’s approval before creating your game.

2) Create a player’s manual:


Describe how to play the game to players.
Explain to players how the game includes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Provide a list of mental strategies that could help players answer equations.

3) Test your game out.


Make sure that your game includes all the math operations.
Write in your math journal your process.

4) Share your game with others. At the end of our project, we will go to another class to share with others how to play our game.
