child a worksheet, each of them needs to fill out their own, but they can work together to
get the answers. Ask the students for a whole group response. Why are we using this
- Discuss again what the big idea was, we are trying to help Minnie figure out how
much food to give to each person. Give children the choice to use manipulatives to
work on the worksheet. You can now go back to your tables and begin working with
your group to complete the worksheet. Raise your hand if you need help, go ahead

to multiply? Why are we using multiplication instead of addition? What is the problem
asking?

strategy first? Can you show me how you got the answer? Tell me more about your
answer.

- Bring the students back to the floor. I saw lots of good strategies being used and you
all worked really well together today, I am very proud of you so far. We are going to
look at the worksheet you all just completed. As you can see, we have a few
strategies up on the board already. What do you guys see? Please raise your hand. I
see one strategy using manipulatives. I see one strategy using lots of addition. This
strategy was the same as mine, they drew out the food items!
- Have students discuss other student’s strategies in front of the class to see if they can
understand other student’s way of thinking. Who wants to explain this strategy? What
do you see? They solved it by doubling the order and counting all of the food items
separately. How was their strategy similar or different to yours? My strategy was
similar because I doubled each food item and then counted each drawing to find the
correct answer. Continue the same process for each strategy on the board.
- Students will now think, pair, share with a partner on a brand new problem while in the
group discussion for extra understanding. One group will put their strategy on the board

different to the other strategies we used before with the book Minnie’s Diner: A
