Grade 4 Module 3

Multi-Digit Multiplication and

Division
OVERVIEW
In this 43-day module, students use place value understanding and visual representations to solve
multiplication and division problems with multi-digit numbers. As a key area of focus for Grade 4, this
module moves slowly but comprehensively to develop students ability to reason about the methods and
models chosen to solve problems with multi-digit factors and dividends.
Students begin in Topic A by investigating the formulas for area and perimeter. They then solve multiplicative
comparison problems including the language of times as much as with a focus on problems using area and
perimeter as a context (e.g., A field is 9 feet wide. It is 4 times as long as it is wide. What is the perimeter of
the field?). Students create diagrams to represent these problems as well as write equations with symbols
for the unknown quantities (4.OA.1). This is foundational for understanding multiplication as scaling in Grade
5 and sets the stage for proportional reasoning in Grade 6. This Grade 4 module, beginning with area and
perimeter, allows for new and interesting word problems as students learn to calculate with larger numbers
and interpret more complex problems (4.OA.2, 4.OA.3, 4.MD.3).
In Topic B, students use place value disks to multiply single-digit numbers by multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000
and two-digit multiples of 10 by two-digit multiples of 10 (4.NBT.5). Reasoning between arrays and written
numerical work allows students to see the role of place value units in multiplication (as pictured below).
Students also practice the language of units to prepare them for multiplication of a single-digit factor by a
factor with up to four digits and multiplication of two two-digit factors.

In preparation for two-digit by two-digit multiplication, students practice the new complexity of multiplying
two two-digit multiples of 10. For example, students have multiplied 20 by 10 on the place value chart and
know that it shifts the value one place to the left, 10 20 = 200. To multiply 20 by 30, the associative
property allows for simply tripling the product, 3 (10 20), or multiplying the units, 3 tens 2 tens = 6
hundreds (alternatively, (3 10) (2 10) = (3 2) (10 10)). Introducing this early in the module allows
students to practice during fluency so that, by the time it is embedded within the two-digit by two-digit
multiplication in Topic H, understanding and skill are in place.

Building on their work in Topic B, students begin in Topic C decomposing numbers into base ten units in order
to find products of single-digit by multi-digit numbers. Students use the distributive property and multiply
using place value disks to model. Practice with place value disks is used for two-, three-, and four-digit by
one-digit multiplication problems with recordings as partial products. Students bridge partial products to the
recording of multiplication via the standard algorithm. 1 Finally, the partial products method, the standard
algorithm, and the area model are compared and connected by the distributive property (4.NBT.5).
1,423 x 3

Topic D gives students the opportunity to apply their new multiplication skills to solve multi-step word
problems (4.OA.3, 4.NBT.5) and multiplicative comparison problems (4.OA.2). Students write equations from
statements within the problems (4.OA.1) and use a combination of addition, subtraction, and multiplication
to solve.
In Topic E, students synthesize their Grade 3 knowledge of division types (group size unknown and number of
groups unknown) with their new, deeper understanding of place value.

Students become fluent with the standard algorithm for multiplication in Grade 5 (5.NBT.5). Grade 4 students are introduced to the
standard algorithm in preparation for fluency and as a general method for solving multiplication problems based on place value
strategies, alongside place value disks, partial products, and the area model. Students are not assessed on the standard algorithm in
Grade 4.

Module Overview Lesson

Students focus on interpreting the remainder within division problems, both in word problems and long division
(4.OA.3). A remainder of 1, as exemplified below, represents a leftover flower in the first situation and a
remainder of 1 ten in the second situation. 2

While we have no reason to subdivide a remaining flower, there are good reasons to subdivide a remaining ten.
Students apply this simple idea to divide two-digit numbers unit by unit: dividing the tens units first, finding
the remainder (the number of tens unable to be divided), and decomposing remaining tens into ones to then
be divided. Students represent division with single-digit divisors using arrays and the area model before
practicing with place value disks. The standard division algorithm 3 is practiced using place value knowledge,
decomposing unit by unit. Finally, students use the area model to solve division problems, first with and then
without remainders (4.NBT.6).

In Topic F, armed with an understanding of remainders, students explore factors, multiples, and prime and
composite numbers within 100 (4.OA.4), gaining valuable insights into patterns of divisibility as they test for
primes and find factors and multiples. This prepares them for Topic Gs work with multi-digit dividends.
Topic G extends the practice of division with three- and four-digit dividends using place value understanding.
A connection to Topic B is made initially with dividing multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 by single-digit numbers.
Place value disks support students visually as they decompose each unit before dividing. Students then
practice using the standard algorithm to record long division. They solve word problems and make
connections to the area model as was done with two-digit dividends (4.NBT.6, 4.OA.3).

Note that care must be taken in the interpretation of remainders. Consider the fact that 7 3 is not equal to 5 2 because the
1
1
remainder of 1 is in reference to a different whole amount (2 is not equal to 2 ).

Students become fluent with the standard division algorithm in Grade 6 (6.NS.2). For adequate practice in reaching fluency, students
are introduced to, but not assessed on, the division algorithm in Grade 4 as a general method for solving division problems.

The module closes as students multiply two-digit by two-digit

numbers. Students use their place value understanding and
understanding of the area model to empower them to multiply by
larger numbers (as pictured to the right). Topic H culminates at the
most abstract level by explicitly connecting the partial products
appearing in the area model to the distributive property and
recording the calculation vertically (4.NBT.5). Students see that
partial products written vertically are the same as those obtained via
the distributive property: 4 twenty-sixes + 30 twenty-sixes = 104 + 780 = 884.
As students progress through this module, they are able to apply the multiplication and division algorithms
because of their in-depth experience with the place value system and multiple conceptual models. This helps to
prepare them for fluency with the multiplication algorithm in Grade 5 and the division algorithm in Grade 6.
Students are encouraged in Grade 4 to continue using models to solve when appropriate.

Foundational Standards
3.OA.3

Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving
equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with
a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. (See CCLS Glossary, Table 2.)

3.OA.4

Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three
whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true
in each of the equations 8 ? = 48, 5 = _ 3, 6 6 = ?.

3.OA.5

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. (Students need not use
formal terms for these properties.) Examples: If 6 4 = 24 is known, then 4 6 = 24 is also
known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 5 2 can be found by 3 5 = 15, then
15 2 = 30, or by 5 2 = 10, then 3 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.)
Knowing that 8 5 = 40 and 8 2 = 16, one can find 8 7 as 8 (5 + 2) = (8 5) + (8 2) = 40 +
16 = 56. (Distributive property.)

3.OA.6

Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 8 by finding the

number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.

3.OA.7

Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between
multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 5 = 40, one knows 40 5 = 8) or properties
of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit
numbers.

3.OA.8

Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using
equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of
answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding. (This
standard is limited to problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number
answers; students should know how to perform operations in the conventional order when
there are no parentheses to specify a particular order, i.e., Order of Operations.)

3.NBT.3

Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 1090 (e.g., 9 80, 5 60)
using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

3.MD.7

Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.

3.MD.8

Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including
finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting
rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different
perimeters.

Multiplicative comparison is foundational for understanding multiplication as scaling in Grade 5 and sets the
stage for proportional reasoning in Grade 6. Students determine, using times as much as, the length of one
side of a rectangle as compared to its width. Beginning this Grade 4 module with area and perimeter allows
students to review their multiplication facts, apply them to new and interesting word problems, and develop
a deeper understanding of the area model as a method for calculating with larger numbers.

Draw a rectangle on your grid paper that is four units wide

and seven units long.
(Draw rectangle on grid paper.)
(Monitor to see that the students have drawn the rectangle
correctly.) Tell your partner what you notice about your
rectangle.
The opposite sides are the same length. It has four right
angles. The area of the rectangle is 28 square units.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 22 units.
Place the point of your pencil on one of the corners of the
rectangle. Now, trace around the outside of the rectangle
until you get back to where you started. What do we call the measurement of the distance around a
rectangle?
The perimeter.
Trace the perimeter again. This time, count the units as you trace them. What is the perimeter of
the rectangle?
22 units.
When we know the measurements of the length and width of a rectangle, is there a quicker way to
determine the perimeter than to count the units while tracing?
We could add the measurements of all four sides of the rectangle.
Take your pencil and count all of the squares within your rectangle. These squares represent the
area of the rectangle. How do I find the area of the rectangle?
You count the squares. You can multiply the length times the width of the rectangle. Four
units times 7 units is 28 square units.

Draw a rectangle on your graph paper that is 3 units wide and 9 units
long. (Draw and display the rectangle.) Watch as I label the length and
width of the rectangle. Now, label the length and width of your
rectangle. How can I find the perimeter?
Add up the lengths of all of the sides. 3 + 9 + 3 + 9 = 24. The perimeter is
24 units. You could also add 3 + 3 + 9 + 9. The answer is still 24 units.
The order doesnt matter when you are adding.
Use your pencil to trace along one width and one length. Along how
many units did you trace?
12 units.
How does 12 relate to the length and width of the rectangle?
Its the sum of the length and width.
How does the sum of the length and width relate to finding the perimeter of the rectangle?
Its halfway around. I can double the length and double the width to find the perimeter instead of
adding all the sides (2l + 2w). I could also add the length and the width and double that sum,
2 (l + w). Both of those work since the opposite sides are equal.
You have just mentioned many formulas, like counting along the sides of
the rectangle or adding sides or doubling, to find the perimeter. Lets
create a chart to keep track of the formulas for finding the perimeter of a
rectangle. Talk to your partner about the most efficient way to find the
perimeter.
If I draw the shape on grid paper, I can just count along the edge. I am
good at adding, so I will add all four sides. It is faster to double the
sum of the length and width. Its only two steps.
We can write the formula as P = 2 (l + w) on our chart, meaning we add the length and width first
and then multiply that sum by 2. What is the length plus width of this rectangle?
3 plus 9 equals 12. 12 units.
12 units doubled, or 12 units times 2, equals?
24 units.
Now, draw a rectangle that is 2 units wide and 4 units long. Find the perimeter by using the formula
I just mentioned. Then, solve for the perimeter using a different formula to check your work.
2 + 4 = 6 and 6 2 = 12. The perimeter is 12 units. Another way is to double 2, double 4, and
then add the doubles together. 4 plus 8 is 12 units. Both formulas give us the same answer.

Repeat with a rectangle that is 5 units wide and 6 units long.

Instruct students to sketch a rectangle with a width of 5 units and a perimeter
of 26 units on their personal white boards, not using graph paper.
T:

Label the width as 5 units. Label the length as an unknown of x units.

How can we determine the length? Discuss your ideas with a partner.

S:

S:

If I know that the width is 5, I can label the opposite side as 5 units since they are the same. If the
perimeter is 26, I can take away the widths to find the sum of the other two sides. 26 10 = 16. If
the sum of the remaining two sides is 16, I know that each side must be 8 since I know that they are
equal and that 8 + 8 = 16, so x = 8 (shows sketch to demonstrate her thinking).
We could also find the length another way. I know that if I add the length and the width of the
rectangle together that I will get half of the perimeter. In this rectangle, because the perimeter is 26
units, the length plus the width equals 13 units. If the width is 5, that means that the length has to
be 8 units because 5 + 8 = 13. 26 2 = 13, x + 5 = 13 or 13 5 = x, so x = 8.

Repeat for P = 28 cm, l = 8 cm.

Problem 3: Use the area formula (l w) to solve for area and to solve for the unknown side length of a
rectangle.
T:
S:

T:

Look back at the rectangle with the width of 3 units and the length of 9 units. How can we find the
area of the rectangle?
We can count all of the squares. We could also count the number of squares in one row and then
skip-count that number for all of the rows. Thats just multiplying the number of rows by the
number in each row. A quicker way is to multiply the length times the width. Nine rows of 3
units each is like an array. We can just multiply 9 3.
Talk to your partner about the most efficient way to find the area of a rectangle.

Discuss how to find the area for the 2 4 rectangle and the 5 6 rectangle drawn earlier in the lesson.
Encourage students to multiply length times width to solve. Ask students to tell how the area of each
rectangle needs to be labeled and why.
T:

S:
T:

We discussed a formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle. We just discovered a formula for
finding the area of a rectangle. If we use A for area, l for length, and w for width, how could we
write the formula?
A = l w.
(Sketch a rectangle on the board, and label the area as 50 square
centimeters.) If we know that the area of a rectangle is 50
square centimeters and that the length of the rectangle is 10
centimeters, how can we determine the measurement of the
width of the rectangle?

S:

I can use the area formula. 50 square centimeters is equal to 10 centimeters times the width. 10
times 5 equals 50, so the width is 5 centimeters. The area formula says 50 = 10
. I can solve
that with division! So, 50 square centimeters divided by 10 centimeters is 5 centimeters.

Repeat for A = 32 square m, l = 8 m and for A = 63 square cm, w = 7 cm.

Problem 4: Given the area of a rectangle, find all possible whole number combinations of the length and
width, and then calculate the perimeter.
T:
S:

T:

If a rectangle has an area of 24 square units, what whole numbers could be the length and width of
the rectangle? Discuss with your partner.
The length is 3 units, and the width is 8 units. Yes, but the length could also be 4 units and the
width 6 units. Or, the other way around: length of 6 units and width of 4 units. There are many
combinations of length and width to make a rectangle with an area of 24 square units.
With your partner, draw and complete a table similar to mine until you have found all possible whole
number combinations for the length and width.

Circulate, checking to see that students are using the length times width formula to find the dimensions.
Complete the table with all combinations as a class.

Now, sketch each rectangle, and solve for the perimeter using the perimeter formula.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. This is an
intentional reduction of scaffolding that invokes MP.5,
Use Appropriate Tools Strategically. Students should solve
these problems using the RDW approach used for
Application Problems.
For some classes, it may be appropriate to modify the
assignment by specifying which problems students should
work on first. With this option, let the purposeful
sequencing of the Problem Set guide your selections so
that problems continue to be scaffolded. Balance word
problems with other problem types to ensure a range of
practice. Consider assigning incomplete problems for
homework or at another time during the day.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Investigate and use the formulas for
area and perimeter of rectangles.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

What is a formula for solving for perimeter?

What formula is most efficient?
Compare the units used to measure perimeter
and the units used to measure area (length units
and square units).
What was challenging about solving Problems
6(a) and 6(b)? How did the process of solving
Problems 4 and 5 help you to figure out how to
solve Problems 6(a) and 6(b)?

short lines, each 2 meters long. (Draw the horizontal lines to create a square 2 meters by 2 meters.)
Here is the same length, 2 times as long, 3 times as long. (Extend the rectangle as shown.) What is
the length when there are 3 segments, each 2 meters long?
6 meters.

With your partner, draw this rectangle and label the

length and width. What is the length? What is the
width?
The length is 6 meters, and the width is 2 meters.
What is the perimeter? Use the chart of formulas for
perimeters from Lesson 1 for reference.
Doubling the sum of 6 meters and 2 meters gives us 16
meters.
What is the area?
6 meters times 2 meters is 12 square meters.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
Ease the task of drawing by offering
students the choice of tracing the
concrete tiles. Alternatively, you may
reduce the small motor demands by
providing a template, grid paper, or
computer software for drawing.

Repeat with a rectangle that is 3 meters long and 4 times as

wide as it is long.

With your partner, determine the width of the first

mural.
The area is 18 square meters. 18 square meters
divided by 6 meters is 3 meters. The width is 3
meters.
True. (Display the last two statements of the
problem.) Using those dimensions, draw and label
Christines next mural. Begin with the side length
you know, 6 meters. How many copies of Christines
first mural will we see in her next mural? Draw
them.
Four copies. (Draw.)
Tell me a multiplication sentence to find how wide her
next mural will be.
3 meters times 4 equals 12 meters.
Finish labeling the diagram.
Find the perimeter of Christines next mural. For help,
use the chart of formulas for perimeter that we
created during Lesson 1.
12 meters plus 6 meters is 18 meters. 18 meters
doubled is 36 meters. The perimeter is 36 meters.

Problem 4: Observe the relationship of area and perimeter

while solving a multiplicative comparison word problem using
the area and perimeter formulas.
Sherries rectangular garden is 8 square meters. The longer side
of the garden is 4 meters. Nancys garden is twice as long and
twice as wide as Sherries rectangular garden.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ENGAGEMENT:
English language learners may benefit
from frequent checks for
understanding as you read the word
problem aloud. Explain how the term
square meters denotes the gardens
area. Instead of twice, you might say
two times. Use gestures and
illustrations to clarify the meaning. In
addition, after students discover the
relationship between area and
perimeter, challenge them to explore
further. Ask, If you draw another
rectangle with a different length, will a
similar doubling of the perimeter and
quadrupling of the area result?

With your partner, draw and label a diagram of

Sherries garden.
(Draw and label Sherries garden.)
What is the width of Sherries garden?
Two meters, because 8 square meters divided by 4 meters is 2 meters.

(Display the next statement.) Help me draw Nancys garden. Twice as long as 4 meters is how many
meters?
8 meters.
Twice as wide as 2 meters is how many meters?
4 meters.
Draw Nancys garden and find
the perimeters of both
gardens.
(Draw and solve to find the
perimeters.)
Tell your partner the
relationship between the two
perimeters.
Sherries garden has a
perimeter of 12 meters.
Nancys garden has a
perimeter of 24 meters.
The length doubled, and the
width doubled, so the
perimeter doubled! 12
meters times 2 is 24 meters.
If Sherries neighbor had a garden 3 times as long and 3 times as wide as her garden, what would be
the relationship of the perimeter between those gardens?
The perimeter would triple!
Solve for the area of Nancys garden and the neighbors garden. What do you notice about the
relationship among the perimeters and areas of the three gardens?
Nancys garden has an area of 32 square meters. The neighbors garden has an area of 72 square
meters. The length and width of Nancys garden is double that of Sherries garden, but the area
did not double. The length is doubled and the width is doubled. 2 times 2 is 4, so the area will be
4 times as large. Right, the area quadrupled! I can put the area of Sherries garden inside
Nancys garden 4 times. The length and width of the neighbors garden tripled, and 3 times 3 is 9.
The area of the neighbors garden is 9 times that of Sherries.

Create a table to show the relationship among the areas and perimeters of the three gardens.

Students may work in pairs to solve Problems 14 below using
the RDW approach to problem solving.
1. Model the problem.
Have two pairs of students you think can be successful with
modeling the problem work at the board while the others work
independently or in pairs at their seats. Review the following
questions before beginning the first problem.

Can you draw something?

What can you draw?
What conclusions can you make from your drawing?

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ENGAGEMENT:
To maximize productivity, you may
choose to make team goals for
sustained effort, perseverance, and
cooperation. Motivate improvement
by providing specific feedback after
each problem. Resist feedback that is
comparative or competitive. Showcase
students who incorporated your
feedback into their subsequent work.

As students work, circulate. Reiterate the questions above.

After two minutes, have the two pairs of students share only their labeled diagrams.
For about one minute, have the demonstrating students receive and respond to feedback and questions from
their peers. Depending on the problem and the student work you see as you circulate, supplement this
component of the process as necessary with direct instruction or clarification.
2. Calculate to solve and write a statement.
Give everyone two minutes to finish work on that question,
sharing their work and thinking with a peer. Students should
then write their equations and statements of the answer.
3. Assess the solution.
Give students one or two minutes to assess the solutions
presented by their peers on the board, comparing the solutions
to their own work. Highlight alternative methods to reach the
correct solution.

Problem 1
The rectangular projection screen in the school auditorium is 5 times as long and 5 times as wide as the
rectangular screen in the library. The screen in the library is 4 feet long with a perimeter of 14 feet. What is
the perimeter of the screen in the auditorium?

The structure of this problem and what it demands of the students is similar to that found within the first and
second lessons of this module. Elicit from students why both the length and the width were multiplied by 5 to
find the dimensions of the larger screen. Students use the dimensions to find the perimeter of the larger
screen. Look for students to use formulas for perimeter other than 2 (l + w) for this problem, such as the
formula 2l + 2w.
Problem 2
The width of Davids rectangular tent is 5 feet. The length is twice the width. Davids rectangular air mattress
measures 3 feet by 6 feet. If David puts the air mattress in the tent, how many square feet of floor space will
be available for the rest of his things?

The new complexity here is that students are finding an area within an area and determining the difference
between the two. Have students draw and label the larger area first and then draw and label the area of the
air mattress inside as shown above. Elicit from students how the remaining area can be found using
subtraction.

Problem 3
Jacksons rectangular bedroom has an area of 90 square feet. The area of his bedroom is 9 times that of his
rectangular closet. If the closet is 2 feet wide, what is its length?

This multi-step problem requires students to work backwards, taking the area of Jacksons room and dividing
by 9 to find the area of his closet. Students use their learning from the first and second lessons of this module
to help solve this problem.
Problem 4
The length of a rectangular deck is 4 times its width. If the decks perimeter is 30 feet, what is the decks
area?

Students need to use what they know about multiplicative comparison and perimeter to find the dimensions
of the deck. Students find this rectangle has 10 equal-size lengths around its perimeter. Teachers can
support students who are struggling by using square tiles to model the rectangular deck. Emphasize finding
the number of units around the perimeter of the rectangle. Once the width is determined, students are able
to solve for the area of the deck. If students have solved using square tiles, encourage them to follow up by
drawing a picture of the square tile representation. This allows students to bridge the gap between the
concrete and pictorial stage.

Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and

multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the
properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations,
rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

In Topic B, students examine multiplication patterns when multiplying by 10, 100, and 1,000. Reasoning
between arrays and written numerical work allows students to see the role of place value units in
multiplication (as pictured below). Students also practice the language of units to prepare them for
multiplication of a single-digit factor by a factor with up to four digits. Teachers also continue using the
phrase ____ is ____ times as much as ____ (e.g., 120 is 3 times as much as 40). This carries forward
multiplicative comparison from Topic A, in the context of area, to Topic B, in the context of both calculations
and word problems.

In preparation for two-digit by two-digit multiplication, students

practice the new complexity of multiplying two two-digit multiples of
10. For example, students have multiplied 20 by 10 on the place value
chart and know that it shifts the value one place to the left, 10 20 =
200. To multiply 20 by 30, the associative property allows for simply
tripling the product, 3 (10 20), or multiplying the units, 3 tens 2
tens = 6 hundreds (alternatively, (3 10) (2 10) = (3 2) (10 10)).

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

Introducing this early in the module allows students to practice this multiplication during fluency so that by
the time it is embedded within the two-digit by two-digit multiplication in Topic H, both understanding and
procedural fluency have been developed.
In Lesson 4, students interpret and represent patterns when multiplying by 10, 100, and 1,000 in arrays and
numerically. Next, in Lesson 5, students draw disks to multiply single-digit numbers by multiples of 10, 100,
and 1,000. Finally, in Lesson 6, students use disks to multiply two-digit multiples of 10 by two-digit multiples
of 10 (4.NBT.5) with the area model.

(Draw 3 ones on the place value chart.) How many do

3 ones.
How many groups of 3 ones do you see?
Just 1.
(Write 3 ones 1.) Suppose I wanted to multiply 3
ones by ten instead. (Underneath, write 3 ones 10.)
How would I do that?
We can just move each disk over to the tens place and get
3 tens.
(Draw an arrow indicating that the disks shift one place to
the left, label it 10 and write 3 ones 10 = 3 tens.) What
if I wanted to multiply that by 10?
Do the same thing. Move them one more place into the
hundreds and get 3 hundreds.
(Repeat the procedure on the place value chart, but now
write 3 ones 10 10 = 3 hundreds.) Look at my equation.
I started with 3 ones. What did I multiply 3 ones by to get 3
hundreds? Turn and talk.
We multiplied by 10 and then multiplied by 10 again.
We multiplied by 10 10, but that's really 100. I can
group the 10 10, so this is really 3 (10 10). That's just
3 100.
Work with your partner. How can you solve 3 1,000?
I showed 3 times 1,000 by showing 3 ones 10 to get 3
tens. Then, I did times 10 again to get 3 hundreds and
times 10 again to show 3 thousands. I drew an arrow
representing times 1,000 from 3 ones to the thousands
column.
What is 3 10 10 10 or 3 1,000?
3,000.

Noting patterns of ten in the place

value chart is familiar to students after
Modules 1 and 2. However, you may
feel a need to adjust the display of
information by using base ten blocks to
convey the magnification of the size or
amount, or writing numerals instead of
disks, or writing 10 inside of each ten
disk, etc.

Repeat with 4 10, 4 100, and 4 1,000.

T: Discuss with your partner which of these methods would be most helpful to you to solve 4 20.
Allow one minute to discuss.
S: 4 2 tens is the most helpful for me, because I know 4 2. 4 2 10 is the most helpful,
because it is similar to 4 2 tens. I can do 4 2 first, which I know is 8. Then, I can do 8 times 10,
which I know is 80.
T: When multiplying with multiples of 10, you can decompose a factor to help you solve. In this

OF ENGAGEMENT:
Invite students to compose a chart
listing all basic facts whose products
are multiples of 10 (such as 4 5).
Encourage students to search for
patterns and relationships as they
decompose these facts.
For example:
4 500 = (2 10) 100
6 500 = (3 10) 100
8 500 = (4 10) 100

4 5 hundreds. (4 5) 100. 20 100.

(2 10) 100. 2 10 100. 2 1,000.
Using the expression of your choice, solve for 4 500.
4 500 is 2 thousands or 20 hundreds or 2,000.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach
used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Interpret and represent patterns when
multiplying by 10, 100, and 1,000 both in arrays and
numerically.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

What is the difference between saying 10 more

and 10 times as many?
What is another expression that has the same
value as 10 800 and 1,000 8?
Think about the problems we solved during the lesson and the problems you solved in the Problem
Set. When does the number of zeros in the factors not equal the number of zeros in the product?
For Problem 4, 12 10 = 120, discuss with your partner whether or not this equation is true:
12 10 = 3 40. (Problem 7 features 3 40.)
How did the Application Problem connect to todays lesson?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you
assess the students understanding of the concepts that were presented in the lesson today and plan more
effectively for future lessons. You may read the questions aloud to the students.

What patterns do you notice?

All of the problems have 8 as a factor. The units are in order of
the place value chart, smallest to largest. The unit we
multiply is the same unit we get in our answer, like 8 2 tens
equals 16 tens and 8 2 hundreds is 16 hundreds.
What happens if we change the unit from 8 2 hundreds to 8
hundreds 2? Does the answer change?
Nothing happens. The answer stays the same even though
the unit changed. 8 2 hundreds can be written as
8 (2 100), and 8 hundreds 2 can be written as (8 100) 2.
Both statements are equivalent.

Repeat with 5 2, 5 20, 5 200, and 5 2,000 horizontally on the

board. As students begin to recognize the pattern of zeros as they
multiply by multiples of 10, note the complexity in the additional zero
when multiplying 5 times 2.
Problem 3: Solve a word problem by finding the sum of two
different products of a single-digit number by a two- and threedigit multiple of 10.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:

1. Francisco played a video game and earned 60 points for

every coin he collects. He collected 7 coins. How many
points did he earn for the coins that he collected?

Teach English language learners and

others to track information from the
word problem as notes or as a model
as they read sentence by sentence.

2. Francisco also earned 200 points for every level he

completed in the game. He completed 7 levels. How
many points did he earn for the levels that he
completed?
3. What was the total number of points that Francisco earned?

Introduce each step of the problem separately, instructing students to follow the RDW process. Students
should ask themselves what they know and draw a tape diagram as needed before solving. Encourage
students to show how they decompose each multiplication problem and promote simplifying strategies for
the addition.

Problem 4: Solve a word problem involving 1,000 times as many.

At a concert, there were 5,000 people in the audience. That was 1,000
times the number of performers. How many performers were at the
concert?
T:
MP.4

S:

Write an equation to solve for how many performers were

at the concert. Solve using a method of your choice.
I know 1,000 times the number of performers is 5,000, so
to solve the equation of p 1,000 = 5,000, I know that
there were 5 performers. There are 1,000 times as
many people in the audience, so I can divide 5,000 by 1,000
to find 5 performers.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach used
for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Multiply multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000
by single digits, recognizing patterns.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a conversation
to debrief the Problem Set and process the lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions below to lead the discussion.

What pattern did you notice while solving Problems 1, 2, and 3?

Sometimes, we decompose using addition, such as saying 30 = 10 + 10 + 10, and sometimes we
decompose using multiplication, such as saying 30 = 3 10. What are some possible decompositions
of 24 using addition? Multiplication?
What did you notice about 5 2, 5 20, 5 200, and 5 2,000? (Note: Try to elicit that there is a
hidden or extra zero because 5 2 ones is 1 ten, 5 2 tens is 10 tens, etc.)

4 tens times 20. Thats 80 tens, or 800.
(Record student statement.) What is 20 in unit form?
2 tens.
So, then, what is 4 tens times 2 tens?
I know 4 times 2 is 8. I dont know what to do with the units. I know 4
times 2 is 8. That leaves both tens. 10 tens. Its like saying 4 times 2 times
10 tens!
Lets prove how we can multiply the units. Draw a 40 by 20 rectangle on
your personal white board. Partition the horizontal side into 2 tens and the
vertical side into 4 tens. Label each side. What is the area of one square?
(Point to a 10 by 10 square.)

10 times 10 is always 100. So, I can decompose any unit of 10, multiply how
many units of 10 there are, and it will be that many hundreds. 7 tens times 8 tens is 56 of some unit.
I just have to find the unit. Ten times ten is 100. So, its 56 hundreds or 5,600.

Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and

multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the
properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations,
rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Building on their work in Topic B, students begin in Topic C decomposing numbers into base ten units in order
to find products of single-digit by multi-digit numbers. Students practice multiplying by using models before
being introduced to the standard algorithm. Throughout the topic, students practice multiplication in the
context of word problems, including multiplicative comparison problems.
In Lessons 7 and 8, students use place value disks to represent the multiplication of two-, three-, and fourdigit numbers by a one-digit whole number.

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

Lessons 9 and 10 move students to the abstract level as they multiply three- and four-digit numbers by onedigit numbers using the standard algorithm.
Finally, in Lesson 11, partial products, the standard algorithm, and the area model are compared and
connected via the distributive property (4.NBT.5).

These calculations are then contextualized within

multiplicative comparison word problems.

The basketball team is selling t-shirts for $9 each. On Monday, they sold 4 t-shirts. On Tuesday, they sold 5
times as many t-shirts as on Monday. How much money did the team earn altogether on Monday and
Tuesday?

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ENGAGEMENT:
Extend the Application Problem for
students above grade level with openended questions, such as the following:

What might be an explanation for

the large difference in t-shirt sales
between Monday and Tuesday?

Based on your thoughts, what

might be a strategy for generating
the most money from t-shirt sales?

Given the increase in t-shirts sold,

should the team increase or
decrease the price of the shirt?
Explain your reasoning.

Note: This is a multi-step word problem reviewing multiplying

by multiples of 10 from Lesson 5, including multiplicative
comparison.

2 hundreds, 1 ten, and 6 ones. Thats 216!

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
Some learners may have difficulty
drawing, tracking, and organizing place
value disks to represent 4 54. A
similar demonstration of renaming in
the tens and ones place can be shown
through 3 34. Alternatively, students
can model numerals, i.e., writing 4
instead of 4 ones disks.

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach
used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Use place value disks to represent twodigit by one-digit multiplication.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

What pattern do you notice in the answers to

Problems 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), and 1(d)?
Describe the renaming you had to do when
solving Problem 2(a). How is it different from the
renaming you had to do when solving Problem
2(b)?
Why did some of the problems require you to use
a hundreds column in the place value chart, but
others did not?
When you start solving one of these problems, is
there a way to tell if you are going to need to
change 10 tens to 1 hundred or 10 ones to 1 ten?
How did the Application Problem connect to
todays lesson?

If we found the total number of shirts sold

first (24), and then multiplied to find the total amount of money, what would our
multiplication problem have been? (24 9.)

What do the partial products for 24 9 represent in the context of the word problem?

Talk to your partner about which method you prefer. Do you prefer writing the partial products or
using a place value chart with disks? Is one of these methods easier for you to understand? Does
one of them help you solve the problem faster?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you
assess the students understanding of the concepts that were presented in the lesson today and plan more

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF REPRESENTATION:
Clarify math language such as
expression, value, vertically, partial
products, equation, and sum for English
language learners. Offer explanations
in students first language if possible.
Link vocabulary to words they may be
more familiar with, for example, sum
has a similar meaning to total. Make
sure to distinguish some from sum.

Monitor and provide assistance as students work in pairs to solve.

Tell your partner the value of the digit in each place.

The value of the ones is 4 times 5 ones equals 20 ones.
The value of the tens is 4 times 0 tens equals 0 tens.
The value of the hundreds is 4 times 6 hundreds equals
24 hundreds.
Do we need to regroup?
Yes. We can change 10 ones for 1 ten twice and 10
hundreds for 1 thousand twice.
Show me. (Students regroup.)
What value is represented on the place value chart?

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Extend the use of place value disks to
represent three- and four-digit by one-digit multiplication.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions below to lead the discussion.

What pattern did you notice in the answers to Problem 1, Parts (a) and (b)?
If you needed an estimate for Problem 1, Part (c), how could you round one of the numbers? How
close would your estimate be to the exact answer?

Tell me what happened in the ones column of your place value chart.
I multiplied 6 times 2 ones to get 12 ones. We regrouped 10 ones for 1 ten and were left with 2
ones.
Record the number of regrouped tens on the line under the tens column. Record the number of
ones in the ones place.
Tell me what happened in the tens column of your place value chart.
I multiplied 6 times 6 tens and got 36 tens. We exchanged 30 tens for 3 hundreds and were left with
6 tens. But, we have the 1 ten regrouped from the ones, so 36 tens plus the 1 ten makes 37 tens.
So, we have 3 hundreds and 7 tens after we regroup.
Record the number of hundreds on the line in the hundreds column. Record the number of tens in
the tens place. What about the 1 that was written on the line in the tens place, do I need it
anymore?
No, we counted it already.
Right, so if were done with it, lets get rid of it. Cross it out.
Now, lets look at the hundreds. What was the value of the hundreds?
We had 6 times 1 hundred equals 6 hundreds. 6 hundreds plus the 3 hundreds we regrouped equals
9 hundreds.
Since theres no need to regroup, write the number of hundreds in the hundreds place. Have we
already counted the 3 hundreds we regrouped?
Yup!
Cross it out. Whats the product?

35 ones is 3 tens 5 ones, so we record 3 tens in the tens column and 5 ones in the ones column on
the same line.
Lets record 3 tens 5 ones using the standard algorithm. (Record 3 tens on the line and 5 ones in the
ones column.) Tell your partner what you notice about this recording.
The 3 tens is on the line in the tens like in addition and the 5 ones is in the ones place, so it still
shows 35 ones. We add partial products together, so the 3 tens on the line means it will get
added to the product.
Working in the tens column, what do we do next?

What is our multiplication sentence for the hundreds column?

3 hundreds times 5 is 15 hundreds or 1 thousand 5 hundreds. I noticed the 1,500 in the partial

column and moving left. We add the 3 hundreds that were changed from tens. Now we have 18
hundreds. I cross out the 3 on the line because Ive added it.

GRADE

GRADE 4 MODULE 3

Topic D

Multiplication Word Problems

4.OA.1, 4.OA.2, 4.OA.3, 4.NBT.5
Focus Standard:

4.OA.1

Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 7 as a

statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal
statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.

4.OA.2

Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by

using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the
problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison. (See
CCLS Glossary, Table 2.)

4.OA.3

Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number
answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be
interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the
unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation
and estimation strategies including rounding.

4.NBT.5

Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and

multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the
properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations,
rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Concept Development (35 minutes)

Materials: (S) Problem Set
Note: For this lesson, the Problem Set comprises word
problems from the Concept Development and is therefore to be
used during the lesson itself.
Students may work in pairs to solve Problems 14 below using
the RDW approach to problem solving.
1. Model the problem.
Have two pairs of students who can be successful with modeling
the problem work at the board while the others work
independently or in pairs at their seats. Review the following
questions before beginning the first problem.

Can you draw something?

What can you draw?
What conclusions can you make from your drawing?

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ENGAGEMENT:
Give everyone a fair chance to be
successful by providing appropriate
scaffolds. Demonstrating students may
use translators, interpreters, or
sentence frames to present and
respond to feedback. Models shared
may include concrete manipulatives.
If the pace of the lesson is a
consideration, prep presenters
beforehand. The first problem may be
most approachable for students
working below grade level.

As students work, circulate. Reiterate the questions above.

After two minutes, have the two pairs of students share only their labeled diagrams.
For about one minute, have the demonstrating students receive and respond to feedback and questions from
their peers.
2. Calculate to solve and write a statement.
Give everyone two minutes to finish work on that question, sharing their work and thinking with a peer. All
should then write their equations and statements of the answer.
3. Assess the solution.
Give students one to two minutes to assess the solutions presented by their peers on the board, comparing
the solutions to their own work. Highlight alternative methods to reach the correct solution.

The table shows the cost of party favors. Each party guest receives a bag with 1 balloon, 1 lollipop, and 1
bracelet. What is the total cost for 9 guests?
Item

Cost

1 balloon

This two-step problem requires students to determine the cost of party favors for one guest and then use
that information to determine the total cost of party favors for 9 guests. Although RDW is reviewed prior to
beginning work on this problem, because of its simplicity, many students will elect to begin solving
immediately. Some students may choose to multiply each item by 9 before adding those amounts. Based on
their prior experience with money, some students may represent the total amount of 657 cents as $6.57, but
they are not required to do so.
Problem 2
The Turner family uses 548 liters of water per day. The Hill family uses 3 times as much water per day. How
much water does the Hill family use per week?

In solving this problem, students use information from the problem and their knowledge of language
denoting multiplicative comparison to determine their answer. They must also remember that there are 7
days in each week in order to complete the computation necessary to finish the problem. Models chosen for
this problem may include tape diagrams as shown.

Problem 3
Jayden has 347 marbles. Elvis has 4 times as many as Jayden. Presley has 799 fewer than Elvis. How many
marbles does Presley have?

This two-step problem affords students another opportunity to model with tape diagrams. They are required
to apply what they have learned about multiplying multi-digit numbers by single digits, as well as practice
their subtraction with multiple regrouping skills from Module 1. Encourage students to also practice mental
math, such as when subtracting 799 from 1,388. As illustrated below, note that the diagram may or may not
accurately show the relationship between 799 and the unit size, 347. Nevertheless, discuss how one might

Problem 1
Over the summer, Kate earned $180 each week for 7 weeks. Of that money, she spent $375 on a new
computer and $137 on new clothes. How much money did she have left?

This multi-step problem requires students to apply their knowledge of multiplication of a multi-digit number by
a single-digit number. While most students may apply the multiplication algorithm, they should be encouraged
to use whichever strategy they are most comfortable with to complete the multiplication. The sum of $375 and
$137 may be found before subtracting it from Kates total salary, or the two amounts may be subtracted
separately.
Problem 2
Sylvia weighed 8 pounds when she was born. By her first
birthday, her weight had tripled. By her second birthday, she
had gained 12 more pounds. At that time, Sylvias father
weighed 5 times as much as she did. What was Sylvia and her
dads combined weight?

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
Learners differ in their solution
strategies, and classroom discussion is
enriched with the sharing of diverse
innovative, efficient, thoughtful
solutions.
Students may choose to omit the
modeling part of a multi-step problem.
For example, the work to the left does
not show the tripling of 8. Therefore,
the sharing of student work when
solving multi-step problems can be
even more interesting.

In this problem, students need to compute Sylvias weight at

two separate points in time. Some students may gravitate to
calculations. Others may use tape diagrams or other models to
represent the problem. Either is acceptable. Then, they may
multiply Sylvias current weight by 6 to find her and her fathers
combined weight.

Lesson 13:

It is best to be prepared to model each

step of the problem since students may

Problem 3
Three boxes weighing 128 pounds each and one box weighing 254 pounds were loaded onto the back of an
empty truck. A crate of apples was then loaded onto the same truck. If the total weight loaded onto the
truck was 2,000 pounds, how much did the crate of apples weigh?

This multi-step problem may be modeled or simply solved using algorithms. Students need to recognize that
128 must be tripled before that total is added to 254. To arrive at the answer to the problem, this new sum
must be subtracted from 2,000, requiring students to use a simplifying strategy or to regroup across multiple
zeros (a skill they mastered in Module 1).
Problem 4
In one month, Charlie read 814 pages. In the same month, his mom read 4 times as many pages as Charlie,
and that was 143 pages more than Charlies dad read. What was the total number of pages read by Charlie
and his parents?
Solution A:

Solution B:

In this multi-step problem, students may find that each calculation is dependent upon the following
calculation. Encourage students to use simplifying strategies when solving, such as seeing in the model that
there are 9 equal-size rectangles worth 814 pages, minus 143 pages.

and a remainder of 1 ten in the second situation.1

Note that care must be taken in the interpretation of remainders. Consider the fact that 7 3 is not equal to 5 2 because the
remainder of 1 is in reference to a different whole amount ( is not equal to ).

3.E.1

Topic E

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

While we have no reason to subdivide a remaining flower, there are good reasons to subdivide a remaining
ten. Students apply this simple idea to divide two-digit numbers unit by unit: dividing the tens units first,
finding the remainder (the number of tens unable to be divided), and decomposing remaining tens into ones
to then be divided.
Lesson 14 begins Topic E by having students solve division word problems involving remainders. In Lesson 15,
students deepen their understanding of division by solving problems with remainders using both arrays and
the area model. Students practice dividing two-digit dividends with a remainder in the ones place using place
value disks in Lesson 16 and continue that modeling in Lesson 17 where the remainder in the tens place is
decomposed into ones.
The long division algorithm2 is introduced in Lesson 16 by directly relating the steps of the algorithm to the
steps involved when dividing using place value disks. Introducing the algorithm in this manner helps students
to understand how place value plays a role in the steps of the algorithm. The same process of relating the
standard algorithm to the concrete representation of division continues in Lesson 17.
Lesson 18 moves students to the abstract level by requiring them to solve division problems numerically
without drawing. In Lesson 19, students explain the successive remainders of the algorithm by using place
value understanding and place value disks. Finally, in Lessons 20 and 21, students use the area model to solve
division problems and then compare the standard algorithm to the area model (4.NBT.6). Lesson 20 focuses
on division problems without remainders, while Lesson 21 involves remainders.

Quotients and remainders are independent of each other, but must both be included to give a complete
response. A quotient and a remainder cannot be recorded after an equal sign because the symbol R or the
words with a remainder of are invalid in an equation. Therefore, a quotient and a remainder can be written
as a statement such as seven divided by two is three with a remainder of one, or the quotient is three and the
remainder is one. It is mathematically correct to record the quotient and the remainder together at the top
of the long division algorithm.

Students become fluent with the standard division algorithm in Grade 6 (6.NS.2). For adequate practice in reaching fluency,
students are introduced to, but not assessed on, the division algorithm in Grade 4 as a general method for solving division problems.

One more student joined the class described at the

beginning of Problem 1. There are now 13 students to
be divided into 4 teams. Draw an array to find how
many students are on each team. What did you find?
I can represent 13 in four groups. Four groups of 3
make 12, but I have 1 left over. One student wont

When we divide a number into equal groups,
sometimes there is an amount leftover. We call the
number that we have left a remainder.
What is the quotient?
The quotient is 3.
What is the amount left over, the remainder?
1.
We state our answer by saying the quotient and then the
remainder. The quotient is 3. The remainder is 1. We can also
say or write, The quotient is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Discuss with your partner how you can use multiplication to
check your work for this answer.
Four threes is 12. That doesnt prove our answer is right.
We can add the remainder to the product. Four times 3 is
12. Add 1 to get 13.
Lets return again to a second story. There are 13 students in
PE class. Exactly 3 students are needed on each team. How
many teams can be made?
Tell me the new expression.

A NOTE ON
THE RECORDING
OF QUOTIENTS AND
REMAINDERS:
When writing 13 4 = 3 R1, one may
conclude that since 7 2 = 3 R1, the
following must be true: 7 2 = 13 4.
However, this translates into
2
which is a false number sentence. To
avoid this incorrect use of the equal
sign, and the misconceptions it creates,
we state the remainder separately
from the quotient and do not use the R
notation directly following the equal
sign.

13 3.
State the quotient and remainder.
The quotient is 4, and the remainder is 1.
Talk to your partner. What do the quotient and the remainder
mean in the second story?
Four teams can be made, and there is 1 extra person.

Draw the number bond as shown and have students compare it with the quotient

I cant because 13 is an odd number and 6 + 6 = 12. An even number plus an even number
wont give you an odd number. You can divide by 6, but there will be 1 extra flower left over.
I can fill 2 vases and have 1 flower left over.
Tell your partner a statement that tells the quotient
and remainder for this problem.
The quotient is 2, and the remainder is 1.
Describe to your partner what that statement tells us.
We started with 13 and made groups of 6. We made 2
groups with 1 rose remaining. Kristy can fill 2 vases.
She will have 1 rose left over.
Again, lets revise our story a bit. Now Kristy bought 13
roses and wants to put them in 2 vases. How many
roses will be in each vase? Is this the same array?
Yes.
Talk to your partner. How has our interpretation of the
array changed?
In the first story, we didnt know the number of vases.
In the second story, we didnt know the number in
each vase. We changed the story from finding the
number of groups to finding the size of the group.
How can we check our work for both situations?
We can draw a number bond to show 2 groups of 6,
and then 1 more. Two times 6 is 12, and 12 plus 1 is
13.
Lets turn our array into a tape diagram to show 13 in 2
groups of 6 with a remainder of 1. (Demonstrate.)
Using the array, draw a rectangle around the flowers.
Erase the flowers and label the diagram.
You should divide the bar into two parts. I know each
part is worth 6, but 6 plus 6 isnt 3.
Our tape diagram must have a third part to represent the remainder. Lets separate the bar into

Lets represent this problem using a tape diagram

together. (Model for the students as you talk.) We
dont know the number of groups or the number of
dresses she will make. We know each dress uses 3
meters, so lets draw one group and label it as fabric
for 1 dress. We dont know how many dresses she can
make or how many threes there are, so we label that
with a question mark. We do know there will be a
remainder because we know our facts of 3. 22 isnt a
multiple of 3. Solve this problem.
Twenty-two divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
With your partner, discuss your answer to the
question. After how many dresses will Allison need to
buy more fabric?
Well, she can make 7 dresses. I guess shell have only 1 meter to make her next dress. No, the
problem says she must have 3 meters of fabric for each dress, so after 7 dresses she will have to buy
more fabric. She can make 7 dresses, but to make an eighth dress, she will need to buy 2 more
meters of fabric. I can prove that my tape diagram is correct by drawing an array. See, there are 7
threes. Each group represents 1 dress. That means that there are 7 dresses. The 1 left over means,
to make the eighth dress, she will need 2 more meters. I can see that by looking at the array.

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment
by specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach
used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (8 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Solve division word problems with
remainders.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

In Problem 3, there are 2 extra chairs. How can

the remainder help you to find how many more
chairs are needed to set up 1 more complete
table?
In Problem 4, how many full days of baking can be
done? How much more flour is needed to bake
on the sixth day?
In Problem 6, 45 7 equals 6 with a remainder of
3. What do the quotient and remainder
represent in this problem? If 6 vans are full with
3 people remaining, why do we need 7 vans?
Does the quotient always give the final answer?
Why is it important to think carefully about the
remainder? How would a model support your
answer of 7 vans?

Draw an array to represent 10 2. Explain to your partner how

you solved.
(Draw.) I drew 2 circles and placed 10 dots evenly among the
circles. I drew 10 dots as 2 rows of 5 dots.
Lets use grid paper to draw a rectangle with an area of 10 square
centimeters and one side length of 2 centimeters. Tell your
partner how we can find the unknown side length.
The area is 10, so we know it is 5. If the width is 2 centimeters,
that means the length is 5 centimeters, and 2 centimeters times 5
centimeters gives an area of 10 square centimeters. We can
count and mark off by twos until we get to 10.
Discuss with your partner how the length of 5 centimeters is represented in the area model.
The length is 5, and the quotient is 5. The length of the area model represents the quotient of
this division problem.

With your partner, discuss how you would draw an area model for

Two can be the length or the width. I cant just draw 2 rows of
square units because of the remainder. If I mark off 2 squares
at a time, I count 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. I cant do another group of 2
because it would be 12. There arent enough.
Eleven square centimeters is the total area. Lets draw a rectangle
starting with a width of 2 centimeters. Well continue lengthening
it until we get as close to 11 square centimeters as we can.

In the Application Problem, you drew an array

(pictured to the right) to solve. Represent the same
problem using the area model on grid paper. (Allow
two minutes to work.)
What do you notice about the array compared to the
area model on graph paper?
The area model is faster to draw. Thirty-eight dots is a
lot to draw. There are the same number of dots and
squares when I used graph paper. Both get us the
same answer of a quotient 9 with a remainder of 2.
Lets represent 38 4 even more efficiently without
grid paper since its hard to come by grid paper every
time you want to solve a problem.
(Give students one minute to draw.) Talk to your
partner about how the array model and grid paper
model supported you in drawing the rectangle with a
given structure.
I knew the length was a little more than twice the
width. I knew that the remainder was half a
column. I knew that there was a remainder. It was
really obvious with the array and grid paper.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the Problem
Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some classes, it may be
appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which
problems they work on first. Some problems do not specify a
method for solving. Students should solve these problems using
the RDW approach used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Understand and solve division problems with
a remainder using the array and area models.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF REPRESENTATION:
Help English language learners
distinguish between terms used for
division: division, divisor, quotient, and
whole. Label a division equation and
post for future reference. Make a
word web of synonyms for division
that students can interchange, if
desired. Encourage students to speak
these words as they participate in the
Debrief.

The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and active

processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

What does the quotient represent in the area

model?
When does the area model present a challenge in
representing division problems?
Explain to your partner how Problem 1, Parts (a)
and (b) are similar. How are they different?
How can Problem 3 and Problem 4 have the same
remainder?
How could you change the 43 in Problem 5 so
that there would be the same quotient but with
no remainder?
The quotient represents a side length. The remainder consists of square units. Why?
How is the whole represented in an area model?
What new math vocabulary did we use today to communicate precisely?
How did the Application Problem connect to todays lesson?

Represent 45 using place value disks. Prepare to represent 45 4 numerically.

4 tens divided by 4 equals?
1 ten.
Cross off and distribute your tens below in each of the 4
groups. Record 1 ten in the tens column. Tell your partner the
next numerical steps.
1 ten times 4 is 4 tens. We subtract 4 tens from 4 tens and get
0 tens. We have 5 ones remaining, so we record those next to
the 0 tens.
5 ones divided by 4 equals?
1 one. We can place 1 one in each group. But we will have
1 one remaining.
Distribute the disks, crossing off the 4 you use. Then tell your
partner how to record that using numbers.
5 ones divided by 4 is 1 one. 1 one times 4 is 4 ones. 5 ones
minus 4 ones is 1 one. Hey, we have 1 one left in the place
value chart!
Correct. Circle that 1 one. It is your remainder. Show your partner
how to record the remainder.
What is 45 4?
11 with a remainder of 1.
What do you notice about using numbers, or long division, and place value disks?
Both help us get to the same answer. In the place value chart, we can see the remainder of 1.
Then, we can write out all of the steps we did with the disks and still show the quotient of 11 and the
remainder of 1. We started with the largest units and went to the smallest with the disks and the
numbers.

How do we use multiplication and addition to check our quotient and remainder in division?
Two times 3 is 6. Six plus 2 is 8. We multiply the quotient times the divisor and add the
remainder. We multiply the number in each group by the number of groups and then add the
remainder.

problem using numbers, or long division, with your
partner.
I got 22 with a remainder of 2.
How can we check if 22 with a remainder of 2 is the
correct answer?
We can multiply to check because we know that
multiplication and division are related. We can
multiply 22 3 to check and then we need to add 2.
22 3 is?
66.
Plus 2?
68. Our answer was right!

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment
by specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach
used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Understand and solve two-digit
dividend division problems with a remainder in the ones
place by using place value disks.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

You may choose to use any combination of the questions below to lead the discussion.

How did solving Problem 1 prepare you for

solving Problem 2?
Explain to your partner why only 6 ones could be
distributed in Problem 3. What happens to the
remaining ones?
Solve 12 divided by 3. Solve 12 divided by 4. As a
divisor gets larger, what will happen to the
quotient if the whole stays the same?
Was the remainder ever larger than the divisor?
Why not?
In the Problem Set, we only had remainders of 1
and 2. Give me an example of a problem that
might have a larger remainder.
Explain the connection between using place value
disks and long division. Why do you think it is
called long division?
What new math vocabulary did we use today to
communicate precisely?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you

Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem Set.
They should check work by comparing answers with a partner
before going over answers as a class. Look for misconceptions
or misunderstandings that can be addressed in the Debrief.
Guide students in a conversation to debrief the Problem
Set and process the lesson.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
As learners model with number disks
to complete the Problem Set,
encourage the following to minimize
mistakes:
Whisper-count as you distribute.
Cross out to track the number
distributed.
Draw dots in arrays. The hands
way array may be helpful.
Circle the remainder.
Try disks, dots, numbers, etc. Use
what is most efficient for you.

You may choose to use any combination of the questions

below to lead the discussion.

How did Problem 2 allow you to see only the

remaining 1 ten in the ones column?
Explain why 1 ten remains in Problem 4?
How is the long division recording different in
todays lesson compared to yesterdays lesson?
What different words are we using to describe
what we do when we have a remaining ten or
tens? (Break apart, unbundle, change, rename,
decompose, regroup.) Which of these words are
you most comfortable using yourself?
What other operation involves changing 1 ten for
10 ones at times? (Subtraction.) What
operations involve the opposite, changing 10
ones for 1 ten at times?
What would happen if we divided the ones before
the tens?

bond and encourage mental math.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the Problem
Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some classes, it may be
appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which
problems they work on first. Some problems do not
specify a method for solving. Students should solve these
problems using the RDW approach used for Application
Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Find whole number quotients and
remainders.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a conversation
to debrief the Problem Set and process the lesson.

You may choose to use any combination of the questions below to lead the discussion.

Compare the remainders to the divisors on the

Problem Set. What do you find is true? Which
always has a larger value? Why is that?
How did the zero effect your division in Problem
9?
What did you notice about the divisor, the whole,
and quotients in Problems 9 and 10?
Can you predict whether or not there will be a
remainder? How?
The whole is the same in Problems 11 and 12.
Why is the quotient smaller in Problem 11?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete

Tell your partner what happens when we have an extra ten we

cant distribute.
We break the ten apart into 10 ones. Then, we add the 10 ones to
the ones that are already there. Then, we can distribute the ones
into 4 equal groups.
Can you think of a real life situation in which you might
change a ten for 10 ones?
Yeah! When youre getting change for 10 dollars! If the
soda machine doesnt take tens, you need to change out for
ones.
Lets say I give 4 students $64 to share equally6 ten dollar bills and 4 one dollar bills. Write an
equation and draw place value disks to show how to divide the money.
What happens when you try to share 6 ten dollar bills equally with 4 people?
Each person gets 1 ten dollar bill, but then you have 2 ten dollar bills left.
What do you do?
Make change! Cash in those 2 ten dollar bills for 20 ones. Then we can share the money fairly.
Or, they could change the 2 tens for 4 fives. That would work, too.
Youre both correct. Either approach would work. Since were using a place value chart to show
division, lets pretend they changed the 2 tens for 20 ones and model that. Since we have so many
ones, model with quick dots as you distribute like a fast card dealer. How will you distribute the
ones?
I will keep distributing them until I cant distribute them equally anymore. This time, I was able to
distribute evenly.
Why do you have to keep distributing?
If I dont keep distributing, there will be too many remaining. That means that you would be able to
distribute again but didnt.
How much money does each student receive?
$16!
Check your quotient with your partner using multiplication.
16 4 = 64. I see 4 groups of 1 ten 6 ones, which is 64.

answer completely wrong? Why not?
In Problem 4, the friends have to make change for
the 1 ten dollar bill. Why cant they tear the bill in
half? How does that relate to the place value
disks?
In Problem 5, how did your script describe the
remainder in the tens and ones?
Select a few students to share and compare their
scripts for solving 45 3.
Compare using place value disks and other
methods to divide. Which do you prefer? Why?
We related a remainder in the tens place to making change with money. What other real-life
situations can you relate it to? Is this similar to mixed metric units, such as having 5 liters of water
to share among 4 people?
With money, sometimes we might use units other than ones and tens, such as fives or twenties.
Why do you think we only use ones and tens to model division on the place value chart?

Yes! 24 + 24. 24 divided by 4 is 6. 6 + 6 is 12. 30 and 18 dont work well because 30 has a
remainder when you divide it by 4. I did it by using 4 rectangles, each with an area of 12 square
units. Oh, yeah, 12 + 12 + 12 + 12.
Explain to your partner why different ways of partitioning give us the same correct side length.
You are starting with the same amount of area but just chopping it up differently. The sum of the
lengths is the same as the whole length. You can take a total, break it into parts, and divide each
of them separately. I use the same break apart and distribute strategy to find the answer to 56
8. 40 8 is 5. 16 8 is 2. 5 and 2 makes 7.

How did you partition the area of 96?

We chopped 96 into 40 + 40 + 16. It was just like 48 4. We saw that we could partition 96 into
4 twenties and 2 eights. We made 96 into 2 forty-eights and used our answer from 48 4! All we
had to do was double it.
Discuss with your partner why we do not decompose 96 as 90 and 6.

classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Solve division problems without
remainders using the area model.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

In Problem 2, did you partition the rectangle the

same way as your partner? Why were we able to
go from whole to part?
Explain the connection between the written
method, the number bond, and the area model in
Problem 3.
In the last problem, explain the connection
between the algorithm and the area model.
Each time we divide, what happens to the
amount of area we still have left to divide?
Even though division is messy, I think it is the
most interesting operation of all because,
imagine thissometimes that little piece that is
left to divide is always there, even though it gets
infinitely small! Talk to your partner about what
you think I might mean by that.

With 1 square unit, we did not add on to the length.
We built the area one rectangle at a time by place
value. Each time after we divide, we have some area
remaining. After dividing the tens, we had 16 square
units remaining. (Point to the model and long
division.) After dividing the ones, we had 1
square unit remaining. (Point to the model and
long division.) Later when we study fractions
more, we will be able to make a little more length
from that area, but for now, we are just going to
leave it as 1 square unit of area remaining.
(Optional: See the Debrief for a way of
understanding the remainder as length.)
Review with your partner how we solved this

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF REPRESENTATION:
To draw the area models, you might
give students the option of using graph
paper, which gives the concreteness of
the squares that make up the area.

Have students proceed through the balance of the

Problem Set supported as you see best.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
remainder of the Problem Set within the allotted 10

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Solve division problems with remainders using the area model.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

Explain to your partner the connection between

the distributive property and the area model in
Problem 3.
Because we often have remainders when we
divide, we have to use the area model by building
up from part to whole. What did the first
rectangle you drew in Problem 1 represent? The
next chunk of the rectangle?
Each time we divide, what happens to the
amount of area we still have left to divide?
Why dont we have this complication of leftovers
or remainders with multiplication?
In Problem 4, we didnt know if we were going to have a remainder in the ones place, so instead we
built up to the area working with one place value unit at a time. How might the problems with
remainders have been challenging if you started with the whole area, like in Lesson 20?
(Optional.) Lets look back at Problem 2, 76 3. What if we cut this remaining square unit into 3
equal parts with vertical lines? What is the length of one of these units? What if we stack them to
add more area? What is the total length of the new rectangle including this tiny piece?

Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1100. Recognize that a whole
number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number
in the range 1100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a
given whole number in the range 1100 is prime or composite.

In Topic F, armed with an understanding of remainders,

students explore factors, multiples, and prime and
composite numbers within 100 (4.OA.4). Students gain
valuable insights into patterns of divisibility as they test
for primes and find factors and multiples, at times
using their new skill of dividing double-digit dividends.
This prepares them for Topic Gs work with dividends
of up to four digits.
Lesson 22 has students find factor pairs for numbers to
100 and then use their understanding of factors to
determine whether numbers are prime or composite.
In Lesson 23, students use division to examine numbers
to 100 for factors and make observations about
patterns they observe, for example, When 2 is a
factor, the numbers are even. Lesson 24 transitions
the work with factors into a study of multiples,
encouraging students to notice that the set of multiples
of a number is infinite while the set of factors is finite.
In Lesson 25, the Sieve of Eratosthenes uses multiples
to enable students to identify and explore the
properties of prime and composite numbers to 100.

Circle the factors. Write the factors of 18 that are
represented in order from least to greatest.
(Write 1, 2, 9, 18.)
With your partner, draw an array to represent
another pair of factors with the product of 18.
(Pause while students work.) What new factors of
18 did you find?
3 and 6.
Revise your list of factors of 18.
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.
How can we make sure we found all of the factors
of 18?
I can use my multiplication chart. I can think
through my multiplication facts. But what if
the number is really big, like 92? I dont know all
the factors of 92. I could draw arrays to find all
the factors, making rows of 3, then 4, then 5, and
all the way to 92. That will take a long time.
Look at the list of factors for 18. Draw an arrow from 1
to 18. These are factor pairs because 1 18 = 18. With
your partner, draw the rest of the arrows to connect the factor pairs.
(Draw as pictured to the right above.)
Notice that 3 and 6 are the middle pairs. Weve checked everything up to 3, and the counting
numbers between 3 and 6 are not factors of 18, so we found all the pairs. Try that with the factors
of 8.

How do you know those are all of the factors of

I listed them in order. When I got to 8, I noticed I
already had its factor pair. Two times 8 is 16, so I
didnt have to go any further. I stopped at 8,
too, because it was half of 16. There isnt a
factor between 1 and 2, so I guess we never need
to go beyond the halfway point.

What are the factors in this equation?

1 and 7.
Find another factor pair for 7.
7 1? Those are the same factors. If we drew arrays to represent factors of 7, the array for
1 7 and 7 1 would look the same. I cant find another pair. There cant be another pair. 2,
3, 4, 5, and 6 dont work.
I hear you saying that 1 and 7 are the only factors. Talk to your partner. How is that different from
the factors of 8, 10, 16, and 18?
There are more factor pairs for 8, 10, 16, and 18 than there are for 7. Seven has only one pair of
factors, but the other numbers we looked at had more than one pair.
Thats right! Now think about the number 5. Name a pair of factors that will give us a product of 5.
1 and 5.
Are there any other factor pairs?
Nope. One times 5 makes 5 just like 1 times 7 is seven. They both only have only one set of
factors.
Numbers like 5 and 7 that have exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself, are called prime
numbers.
With your partner, list at least two more prime numbers. (Allow time for students to discover and
list. Review their findings for numbers such as 11, 13, and 17.)
(Refer to list just created.) If these are prime numbers, can you name a number that is not prime?
(Responses will vary.)
Yes! The numbers you mentioned have at least one factor other than 1 and the number itself. They
are called composite numbers.
Lets use 6 as an example. Does 6 have more than two factors?
Yes! One and 6 are factors, but 2 and 3 are also factors.
So, what can we say about the number 6?
It is composite. It has more than two arrays to represent it. It has more than two factors.

Is 35 a prime or composite number? Why?

S:

Are any of these numbers prime numbers? How do you know?

Twenty-three is prime because we thought about all the possible factors, other than one, up to 11
and none worked.
Why can we stop at the number 11?
Eleven is the closest whole number to half of 23. Once I get halfway, I have found all of the factor
pairs. After that, they just keep repeating.
Why is 48 composite?
There are more than two factors. It has 6 and 8 as factors. It also has 4 and 12. I found 10
factors! It sure isnt prime!

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the Problem
Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some classes, it may be
appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which
problems they work on first. Some problems do not specify a

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Find factor pairs for numbers to 100, and use
understanding of factors to define prime and composite.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and active
processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem Set.
They should check work by comparing answers with a partner
before going over answers as a class. Look for misconceptions
or misunderstandings that can be addressed in the Debrief.
Guide students in a conversation to debrief the Problem Set and
process the lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions below
to lead the discussion.

Compare the factors in Problem 1(e) and 1(l). Twentyfour is double 12. What do you notice about their
factors? Compare the factors in Problem 1(d) and 1(i).
Eighteen is double 9. What do you notice about their
factors?
In Problem 1, what numbers have an odd number
of factors? Why is that so?
Are all prime numbers odd? Explain what you
would tell Bryan in Problem 3.
Explain your answer to Problem 3(b). Are all
even numbers composite? How many even
numbers are not composite?
We talked a lot about the number 1 today as
being a factor of other numbers, but we have not
classified it as prime or composite. Can 1 be
composite? (No.) It turns out that its not
considered prime either!

Lesson 22:
Date:
2014 Common Core, Inc. Some rights reserved. commoncore.org

NOTES ON
PRIME NUMBERS:
Since 0 times any number is 0, it
behaves differently than other
numbers. Because of this difference,
we do not classify it as prime or
composite.
Many students might reason that 1
should be prime since its only factors
are 1 and itself. In fact, their logic is
sound, and throughout history, many
mathematicians would have agreed!
However, choosing to define 1 as
neither prime nor composite leads to
simpler statements of theorems
regarding the structure of the number
system. This choice has become
universally accepted in more recent
times.

Find the unknown factor: 28 = 7 ___.

4.
How did you find the unknown factor?
I know my fours facts. I divided 28 by 7.
Is 10 a factor of 28?
No.
How do you know?
Two times 10 is 20, and 3 times 10 is 30. If you divide 28 by 10, you get a remainder.
How can I find out if 3 is a factor of 54?
We can divide 54 by 3.
What if I get a remainder?
If there is a remainder, then 3 isnt a factor. As long
as theres no remainder, you can write 54 as 3 times a
whole number. Yeah, its 3 times the quotient.

Allow time for students to divide with their partner.

S:
T:
S:
T:

Fifty-four can be divided by 3 evenly. Three is a

factor of 54 because there is no remainder.
How can we determine if 2 is a factor of 54?
We can divide like we did for 3. Two is an even number, so it goes evenly into 54. Two is a
factor of every even number and 54 is even, so 2 has to be one of its factors.
Use division to find out if 3 is a factor of 78, if 4 is a factor of 94, and if 3 is a factor of 87.

Quickly debrief the questions to ascertain that 3 is a factor of 78 and 87, but 4 is not a factor of 94.

Talk to your partner. Is it necessary to divide to figure out if 5 is a factor of 54?

Fifty-four cant be divided by 5 exactly. There is a remainder. When you count by fives, each
number ends with 5 or 0. Fifty-four does not end with 0 or 5. Five isnt a factor of 54.
We divided to determine if 3 was a factor of 54, but for 2 and 5 we dont need to divide. Explain to
your partner why not.
The even numbers all have 2 for a factor. If the digit in the ones place is odd, the number doesnt
have 2 as a factor. Numbers with 5 as a factor have 0 or 5 as a digit in the ones place. We can
use patterns for 2 and 5.
How can we know if 6 a factor of 54?

Six times 9 equals 54.

Earlier we saw that 2 and 3 are both factors of 54. Talk to your partner.
Is this number sentence true?
(Write 54 = 6 9 = (2 3) 9.)
(Share ideas.)
Lets write it vertically so that it is very easy to see how the factor 6 is
related to 2 times 3.
(Write the problem as modeled to the right.) Now lets move the
parentheses so that 3 associates with 9 rather than 2. Three times 9 is?
27.
Find the product of 2 and 27. (Pause.) Is it true that 2 times 27 equals 54?
Yes!
We used the associative property to show that both 2 and 3 are factors of 54.
Lets test this method to see if it works with a number other than 54. Forty-two is 6 times?
7.
Lets use the associative property to see if 2 and 3 are also factors of
42.
(Write 42 = 6 7.) How will we rewrite 6?
2 3.
(Beneath 6 7, write = (2 3) 7.) Lets now move the parentheses to
first multiply 3 times 7, to associate 3 with 7 rather than 2. 3 times 7
is?
21.
Find the product of 2 and 21. (Pause.) Is it true that 2 times 21 equals
42?
Yes!

Record thought process as shown at right. Have students use the associative property to prove that since 6 is
a factor of 60, both 2 and 3 are also factors.
Problem 3: Use division or the associative property to find factors of larger
numbers.
T:

S:

Multiply 6 times 12. (Pause.) The answer is?

72.
Using either division or the associative property, work with your
partner to prove that since 6 is a factor of 72, 2 and 3 are also
factors.
Seventy-two is even, so 2 is a factor. I can use long division to find
72 divided by 3 is 24, so 3 is a factor. I wrote 72 equals 6 times
12 as 72 equals 2 times 3 times 12. Using the associative property
works. I know 2 and 3 are factors of 72 because 6 is a factor of 72.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach
used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Use division and the associative
property to test for factors and observe patterns.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

How did answering Problem 1, Part (a) help you

answer Problem 1, Part (b)? Was it necessary to
divide?
What relationship do you notice between
Problem 1, Parts (a), (c), and (e)? What about
between Problem 1, Parts (d), (f), and (h)?
Discuss with your partner what is similar and
what is different about Problem 1, Parts (a), (c),
and (e) and Problem 1, Parts (d), (f), and (h).
Whats the difference between the statements in
Problem 4? Why is one false and the other true?
When we divided 72 by 3, we saw that there was
no remainder. Another way to say that is 72 is
divisible by 3. Is 24 divisible by 3? Is 25 divisible
by 3?

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

We can use number patterns to determine if 2 and 5 are factors of other numbers. What other
numbers do you think have patterns? Do you see a pattern for determining which numbers 3 is a
factor of? Can you describe one?
If 8 is a factor of 96, what other numbers must also be factors of 96? How can we use the
associative property to prove this?
Once someone tried to tell me that the two statements in Problem 4 say the same thing. How would
you explain that the two statements are different?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you
assess the students understanding of the concepts presented in the lesson today and plan more effectively
for future lessons. You may read the questions aloud to the students.

Application Problem (5 minutes)

8 cm 12 cm = 96 square centimeters. Imagine a rectangle with an area of 96 square centimeters and a side
length of 4 centimeters. What is the length of its unknown side? How will it look when compared to the 8
centimeter by 12 centimeter rectangle? Draw and label both rectangles.

Note: This Application Problem relates finding factors (Lessons 22 and 23) to multiples
(Lesson 24). You might lead students to visualize the columns of 4 or 8 square
centimeters. When we count by the number of squares in those columns, will we arrive
exactly at 96? When we count by the number of squares in one row, 24 or 12, will we
also arrive exactly at 96? (You may choose to use graph paper to demonstrate for those
students who would benefit from pictorial representation.)
Also, you might show students how the associative property beautifully illustrates
how as the 8 is split in two, the 12 doubles (pictured to the right).

Turn to your partner and count by fours, taking turns with each new number. So, for example, you
start by saying 0, your partner says 4, then you say 8. You have one minute. Ready? Begin.
(Skip-count with partners for one minute.)
Stop. What number did you count up
to?
(Responses will vary.)
Good! Tell me some things you
noticed.
We started by saying the 4 times table,
then kept adding on 4. There was a
pattern with how the numbers ended.
When we got to 100, the counting
started over again. Just like we started
with 0, 4, 8, 12, after 100 it was 104,
108, 112, and so on.
Those are nice observations. Lets try that again, beginning where you left off. This time, as you
count, think about what patterns there are. Ready? Begin.
(Skip-count with their partners for another minute.)
When we skip-count by a whole number, the numbers that we say are called multiples.
Talk to your partner about what you noticed.
All of the multiples of 4 were even numbers. No matter how high we counted, we kept adding on
4 more. The digit in the ones place of every number followed its own pattern. It went 0, 4, 8, 2,
6, over and over again.
Excellent discoveries! This pattern in the ones place continues forever! Why?
Because it is always 4 more. If thats what has been happening, then the same things will keep
happening. It worked up to 1 hundred, and the ones and tens place will continue with the same
pattern, so it will even work in the two hundreds and three hundreds. Four times 25 is 100, so
then in every hundred it repeats, so it just keeps going in a cycle!
How is a multiple different from a factor?

Why is 24 a multiple of 4?
When we count by fours we get to 24. 4 times 6
is 24. Four is a factor of 24.
Is 24 a multiple of 5?
No, because we cant skip-count by five to 24.
No, because 24 divided by 5 has a remainder.
No, because 5 is a not a factor of 24.
What about 8? Is 24 a multiple of 8?
Yes! Eight times 3 is 24. Well, 8 is a factor of 24,
so 24 must be a multiple of 8.
We know 96 is a multiple of 4 from our Application
Problem, since 4 times 24 is 96. What did we do to
figure that out?
I used long division. I used the associative
property.
Yes, because for some it is beyond mental math.
How can we find out if 96 is a multiple of 3?
We can divide to see if 96 is divisible by 3. We
might use the associative property since we know that
8 times 12 and 4 times 24 are 96 from the Application
Problem.
Try that.

Allow time for students to divide or use the associative

property.

What did you discover?

There was no remainder, so 3 is a factor of 96. That
makes 96 a multiple of 3.
What is the factor pair of 3?
32!
If you count by 32 three times, will you get to 96?
Yes?
Is 96 a multiple of both 3 and 32?
Yes!
List the first five multiples of 3.
(Write 3, 6, 9, 12, 15.)
What number did you begin with?
3.
But isnt 0 a multiple of 3? Should we start with 0 first?

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF REPRESENTATION:
Students who struggle with the
difference between a factor and a
multiple might benefit from creating a
three-column chart that lists numbers
in the first column, factors in the
second, and then multiples in the third,
always followed by an ellipsis to
remember the infinite number of
multiples of any number. Students can
refer to this visual representation as
they complete the lesson and as they
think about how factors and multiples
are related.

S:
T:

No. Its less. But 0 times 3 is 0, so maybe?

Since zero times any number is zero, zero is a multiple of every number, so we could consider it the
first multiple of every number. However, when we skip-count, we usually start with the number
were counting by. So, we usually think of the number itself, in this case 3, as the first multiple,
instead of 0. That way, the first multiple is 1 3, the second is 2 3, and so on.

(Optional) Problem 3: Use the associative property to see that any multiple of 6 is also a multiple of 3 and 2.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach
used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Determine whether a whole number is
a multiple of another number.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a conversation
to debrief the Problem Set and process the lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

What strategy did you use in Problem 2?

In Problem 5, Parts (c) and (d), what patterns did
you discover about multiples of 5 and 10?
Explain the difference between factors and
multiples.
Which number is a multiple of every number?
In Problem 1, which multiples were the easiest to
write: the fives, fours, or sixes? Why?
How can the associative property help you to
know if a number is a multiple of another
number?
Did anybody answer no on Problem 4? What
about 1? Are prime numbers multiples of 1?
In the lesson, we found that when counting by
fours, the multiples followed a pattern of having
0, 4, 8, 2, and 6 in the ones digit. Does that mean
any even number is a multiple of 4?

As students are charged with determining multiples that are greater than those in the times tables, some will
choose to continue adding on, while others will choose to divide, and some will begin to rely on number
patterns they have noticed. Encourage partners to compare strategies.
Note: At a certain point, the majority of students will have finished marking off multiples of 7. A few may
have begun to notice that the multiples of the remaining numbers have already been crossed off. Interrupt
the class at this point. Below is the suggested midpoint dialogue.

After you marked off multiples of 7, what was the next number that you circled?
11.
Were there any multiples of 11 that hadnt been crossed out already?
No.
What about 13? Are there any multiples of 13 that still need to be crossed off?
No, theyre already crossed off from before.
I wonder if thats true of the rest? Go back to 11. Lets see if we can figure out what happened.
Count by elevens within 100 using the chart.
11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 99.
Ninety-nine is how many elevens?
9 elevens.
So, by the time we circled 11, is it true that wed already marked all of the multiples of 2, 3, all the
way up to 10?
Well, yeah, we circled 2, 3, 5, and 7, and crossed off their multiples. We didnt have to do fours,
because the fours got crossed out when we crossed out multiples of 2. The same thing happened
with the sixes, eights, nines, and tens.
Interesting, so we had already crossed out 2 11, 3 11, all the way up to 9 11. I wonder if the
same thing happens with 13. Discuss with a partner: Will there be more or fewer groups of 13 than
groups of 11 within a hundred?
More, because it is a bigger number. Fewer, because it is a larger number so fewer will fit in 100.
Fewer because 9 11 is 99, so maybe 7 or 8 times 13 will be less than 100. 9 13 is more than
100, so fewer groups.
Take a moment to figure out how many multiples of 13 are within 100.
(Might count by 13 or multiply.)
How many multiples of 13 are less than 100?
7!
7 times 13 is?
91.
We already marked off 91 because it is a multiple of 7. The same is true for 6 13, 5 13, and so on.
Do we need to mark of multiples of 17?
No, because there will be even fewer groups and we already marked off those factors.
Exactly. The highest multiple of 17 on the hundreds chart is 85. 5 seventeens is 85. We already
marked 2 17 up to 5 17.

Please note that the Problem Set comprises only questions
used in the Concept Development. No additional time is

You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

Which numbers are circled? Which numbers are

crossed out?
We started this Problem Set by coloring number
1 red and beginning our work with the multiples
of 2. Why didnt we cross out the multiples of 1?
Are any prime numbers even? Are all odd
numbers prime?
We crossed off multiples of 2, 3, 5, and 7. Why
didnt we have to cross off multiples of 4 or 6?
How did you know some of the larger
numbers, like 53 and 79, were prime?

How can we find the prime numbers between 1 and 200?

The process of crossing out multiples to find
primes is called the sieve of Eratosthenes.
Eratosthenes was an ancient Greek
mathematician. Why do you think this is called
a sieve (show a sieve to the students)?

GRADE 4 MODULE 3

Topic G

Division of Thousands, Hundreds,

Tens, and Ones
4.OA.3, 4.NBT.6, 4.NBT.1
Focus Standard:

4.OA.3

Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number
answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be
interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the
unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation
and estimation strategies including rounding.

4.NBT.6

Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and onedigit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations,
and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the
calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Topic G extends to division with three- and four-digit dividends using place value understanding. Students
begin the topic by connecting multiplication of 10, 100, and 1,000 by single-digit numbers from Topic B to
division of multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 in Lesson 26. Using unit language, students find their division facts
allow them to divide much larger numbers.

In Lesson 27, place value disks support students visually

as they decompose each unit before dividing. This lesson
contains a first-use script on the steps of solving long
division using place value disks and the algorithm in
tandem for three- and four-digit dividends (4.NBT.6).
Take note how patterning develops with these larger
numbers.

Topic G 4 3

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

Students then move to the abstract level in Lessons 28 and 29, recording long division with place value
understanding, first of three-digit, then four-digit numbers using small divisors. In Lesson 30, students
practice dividing when zeros are in the dividend or in the quotient.
Lessons 31 and 32 give students opportunities to apply their understanding of division by solving word
problems (4.OA.3). In Lesson 31, students identify word problems as number of groups unknown or group
size unknown, modeled using tape diagrams. Lesson 32 allows students to apply their place value
understanding of solving long division using larger divisors of 6, 7, 8, and 9. Concluding this topic, Lesson 33
has students make connections between the area model and the standard algorithm for long division.
A Teaching Sequence Towards Mastery of Division of Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, and Ones
Objective 1: Divide multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 by single-digit numbers.
(Lesson 26)

This time we have two units, hundreds and tens. I can
rename 3 hundreds and 5 tens as 35 tens. 35 tens
divided by 5. We didnt have to decompose 5 hundreds,
but now we do have to change 3 hundreds for tens since we
cant divide 3 hundreds by 5.
Lets use 35 tens. Say the number sentence you will use to
solve in unit form.
35 tens 5 = 7 tens.
What is the quotient of 350 divided by 5?

Discuss with your partner a way to solve this problem.

(Allow one minute for students to discuss.) Solve.
Compare your solution with a pair near you. Discuss
the strategy you used.
(Allow time for sharing.) Is there a pair that would like
to share their solution?
We had to decompose 3,000 into 30 hundreds because
there werent enough thousands to divide. 30
hundreds divided by 5 is easy because we know 30
divided by 5 is 6. Then, we just had to divide 30
hundreds by 5 and got a quotient of 6 hundreds, or
600.
How is this problem related to 350 5?
3 hundreds got changed for 30 tens, and 3 thousands
got changed for 30 hundreds. In both problems, we
had to change 3 larger units for 30 of the next smaller
units. Its like when we are subtracting and we
dont have enough unitswe have to change a larger
unit for smaller units, too.
Good connections. Turn and restate the ideas of your
peers to your partner in your own words.
(Allow time for talk.) Let me fire some quick problems at
you. Tell me the first expression you would solve. For
example, if I say 250 2, you say 2 hundreds divided by 2.
If I say 250 5, you say 25 tens divided by 5. Ready?

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
Support English language learners and
others as they transcribe number form
to unit form. If helpful, guide students
to whisper-say the number before
writing. Depending on your students
proficiency, provide the spelling of
hundreds and thousands.
Help students understand how to
determine the appropriate unit form.
Say, If the divisor is greater than the
first digit, try a smaller unit form.
Give multiple examples.

Give the students a sequence of problems such as the following: 120 2; 400 2; 6,200 2; 1,800 2; 210
3; 360 3; 1,200 3; and 4,200 3.

We need to divide 480 by 6.
Yes, 480 divided by 6 units will give us the value of 1
unit. What strategy can you use to solve?
We can rename 4 hundreds 8 tens as 48 tens.
Okay, how does that help?
48 divided by 6 is 8, so 48 tens divided by 6 is 8 tens.

One unit equals 80.
So, how many rooms are there in the Travelers Hotel?
There are 80 rooms.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ENGAGEMENT:
Instead of moving forward into the last
word problem of the Problem Set, offer
students working below grade level
more opportunities to determine
whether or not decomposition is
necessary. Have students model, on a
place value chart, the suggested
sequence found at the end of Problem
2. Have them do the division using the
models. Finally, have them state the
full number sentence using the correct
unit language.

Students should do their personal best to complete the

Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach used
for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (13 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Divide multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000
by single-digit numbers.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a conversation
to debrief the Problem Set and process the lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

How is writing the number sentence in unit form helpful for solving problems like Problem 1?
How did you rename the numbers in Problems 2(b) and 2(c) to divide?
How are Problems 3(a) and 3(e) alike? How are they different?

MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
Provide learners with learning and
cognitive disabilities internal scaffolds
to aid their memory and organization
as they draw and distribute many place
value disks. Guide students to refer
back to the original expression
frequently, e.g., 423 3, whisper-count
as they distribute, write down any
numbers they may forget, and use selftalk, such as, Now Ill distribute 12
tens.

students to draw disks and write the problem.)
Starting with the largest unit, tell me what to divide.
We divide 7 hundreds by 3.
Do that on your chart. 7 hundreds divided by 3. What
is the quotient?
2 hundreds, with 1 hundred remaining.
(Record 2 hundreds. Point to the place value chart.)
In your place value chart, you recorded 2 hundreds
three times. Say a multiplication sentence that tells
that.
2 hundreds times 3 equals 6 hundreds.

As students say the multiplication equation, refer to the

algorithm, point to the 2 hundreds and the divisor, and finally,
record 6 hundreds.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the Problem
Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some classes, it may be
appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which
problems they work on first. Some problems do not specify a
method for solving. Students should solve these problems using
the RDW approach used for Application Problems.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ENGAGEMENT:
Challenge students working above
grade level and others to approximate
estimates before they solve in order to
check the reasonableness of their
answers.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Represent and solve division problems
with up to a three-digit dividend numerically and with
place value disks requiring decomposing a remainder in
the hundreds place.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

Think about ways to connect the division

Problems in 1(a) and 1(b) to word problems.
What are some other ways to say divided by two?
Try making a connection to fractions by using
words like half.
Problems 1(c) and 1(d) have the same divisor. Problem 1(d) has a larger whole. What conclusions
can you make about quotients when the wholes are different, but the divisors are the same?
The size of a remainder is closely connected with that of the divisor.
What conclusions can you make about remainders, whether they are in the hundreds, tens,
or ones columns? Use Problems 2(a) and 2(b) to discuss your findings.
Imagine your partner found a remainder of 4 hundreds in Problem 2(b). How could you
explain to him his mistake? Is there a connection with the remainder and the divisor that
would help him to avoid this miscalculation in the future?

Lesson 27 43

In Problem 2(c), you had to decompose 2

hundreds into 20 tens. What did you find
challenging about representing that using place
value disks? Did it take a while to draw that
many disks? Is there a model that would simplify
that process? When is it more efficient to just
imagine the disks and do the long division?
What changed when we moved from dividing
two-digit wholes to three-digit wholes? Would
the same process were using for three-digit
wholes work for four-digit wholes? Five digits?
Six digits? A million digits?
How did the Application Problem connect to
todays lesson?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete
the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you assess
the students understanding of the concepts that were
presented in the lesson today and plan more effectively
for future lessons. You may read the questions aloud to
the students.

Record 7 tens. When we distribute 29 tens into 4
groups, there are 7 tens in each group. Say the
multiplication sentence that tells how many of the tens
were distributed.
7 tens times 4 equals 28 tens.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ENGAGEMENT:
This vignette supports students step by
step when using it in combination with
Lesson 27. You may enhance the
experience for learners who have
limited executive functioning by
guiding students to set appropriate
individual goals. Goals may include
effort, efficiency, timing, organization,
and persistence. In addition, you may
adjust the numbers to challenge
students working above grade level or
offer alternatives such as developing a
game to practice the skill.

As students are reciting the multiplication sentence, point to the 7 tens, then to the divisor, and then record
the 28. Be sure students are also recording.

S:
T:

We began with 29 tens, but we distributed 28 of them. How many tens are remaining? Say the

What is the quotient and the remainder?

The quotient is 74 and the remainder is 1.
How can we use multiplication and addition to check if our quotient is correct?
We can multiply 74 by 4, and then add the remainder 1. If we get 297, then we are correct.
Check your quotient using multiplication.
What was the new complexity for this division problem?
We didnt have enough hundreds to divide so we decomposed them as tens and divided by tens
first.

Did you find that 365 could be divided by 7 evenly?

No, there was a remainder of 1.
In this problem, what does the remainder mean?
It means that there is one extra day.
Talk to your partner. How did you know it was an extra day?
Our whole, or total, represented the number of days in a year,
365, so our remainder is days. 365 minus 52 groups of 7
leaves 1 day remaining. 1 one is one day. 365 ones, or days,
is one year.
So, what would be a good sentence to write?
We can say, There are 52 weeks and 1 day in one year.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the Problem Set within the

Student Debrief (9 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Represent and solve three-digit
dividend division with divisors of 2, 3, 4, and 5
numerically.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

Look at all of the problems with 4 as a divisor.

They all have a remainder of 1, 2, or 3. If you
were dividing by 4 and came up with a remainder
of 4, 5, or 6, what would you know?
Problems 1(a) and 1(b) have the same quotient.
How can the same quotient come from two
different whole amounts? Lets draw a tape
diagram for each to show how that could be true.
Problems 1(c) and 1(d) have the same whole.
Which quotient is larger? Why?
How did the Application Problem connect to
todays lesson?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete
the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you assess
the students understanding of the concepts that were

Draw something to help you solve this problem.

(Pause.) What did you draw?
(Method A) I drew a tape diagram. I made 2
units and labeled the whole as 1,254, since we
know that there are 1,254 beads in two packs.
Then, I just drew a third unit. I labeled all 3 units
with a question mark to represent how many
beads are in three packs.
(Method B) Not me, after I drew two
equal parts, I drew a second tape diagram
below with three equal parts.
What conclusions did you make from your
drawing?
We need to divide 1,254 by 2 to find out how
many beads are in each bag. This helped
because if we know how many beads are in one
bag, we can multiply by 3 to find out how many
beads are in three bags.
1,254 divided by 2 is?
1,254 divided by 2 is 627.
Are we done?
No! We needed to multiply 627 by 3 to find the
total number of beads in three packs.
627 times 3 equals 1,881. There are 1,881 beads in three packs.

Note: Clearly this is scripted to reflect a classroom where the students have confidence with the tape
diagram. If students need a more guided approach, it should be provided.

some of the quotients contain three digits while
others have four?

What did you notice about the size of the quotient

in Problems 1(e) and 1(f) when the divisor
increased from 2 to 3?
Problems 1(i) and 1(j) resulted in the same
quotient. Explain why that is possible.
When is it possible for you to know, before
dividing, whether or not a division problem will
have a remainder?
We have divided two-, three-, and now four-digit
numbers. Explain to your partner how each time
the whole became larger, another step was added.
Discuss what you think would be true for dividing a
number with a greater number of digits.

Tell your partner how to find how many hundreds remain.

8 hundreds minus 8 hundreds is 0 hundreds. Zero hundreds remain.
Zero hundreds remain. If zero hundreds remain, we cant decompose hundreds into tens to keep
dividing. Are we finished?
If there are no more hundreds to regroup as tens, I guess we are finished. Even if we had
hundreds to regroup, there arent any tens to regroup with. There are still 4 ones. We have to
divide those.
Can we move straight to dividing in the ones column? Discuss with your partner what happens if we
just pass by the tens since there are zero tens.
We have to divide all of the units in the whole, so yeah, lets divide 4
ones by 4. If we do that, we record 1 one in the ones column, but
then we have nothing to record in the tens column because we skipped
it. Our answer could be 21. But if I multiply 21 times 4, thats 84,
and the whole is 804. We have to keep dividing in the tens, even if
there are zero tens to divide, otherwise our answer will be wrong.
Yes, we must keep dividing unit by unit, even if there is a zero in a unit.
Zero hundreds renamed as tens is zero tens. Zero tens plus zero tens is
zero tens. What is zero tens divided by 4?
Zero tens.
We continue recording even if we have zero tens to regroup. Zero tens
times 4 is?
Zero tens.
Zero tens minus zero tens is zero tens. 4 ones remain. Work with your
partner to find the quotient.
(Continue dividing until they reach the quotient of 201.)
Say the complete equation.
804 divided by 4 equals 201.
Check your work using multiplication.
201 times 4 equals 804.
Tell your partner how you know when to stop dividing.
When there are no more remainders, you are finished. You must keep dividing in each place
value, even if there are zero remainders or a zero in the whole. Keep dividing until each place
value has been divided. Once you divide the ones, you have a quotient and possibly a remainder.
You must keep dividing the smaller units even if you dont have any larger units to divide.

Problem 2: Divide with a zero in the quotient.

4,218 3
T:

Work with your partner to divide the thousands and the hundreds. As I circulate around the room,
let me hear you using the language of units as you divide.

Allow students one to two minutes to divide. Have two students come to the board to show their work.

S:

I see that these students have found the quotient contains 1 thousand and 4 hundreds. When they
subtracted the distributed hundreds, there was no remainder. We dont need to rename zero
hundreds as tens, but we do have 1 ten to divide. Discuss with your partner your next steps.
1 ten cannot be divided by 3. Im not sure what to do. But
10 divided by 3 would give me a quotient of 3. But thats 3
ones, not 3 tens. If I divided 1 ten into 3 groups, I would
distribute zero tens if I was using disks, so the answer is zero
tens. We should record zero tens in our quotient.
Right! If we distribute zero tens we record zero in the quotient
and still have 1 ten and 8 ones remaining. Talk with your
partner about your next steps.
We can change 1 ten for 10 ones. Now we have 18 ones
divided by 3 is 6 ones. Our quotient is 1,406.
Talk with your partners about the importance of the zero in
your quotient.
If I didnt record the zero, my answer would be wrong. The
zero is a place holder of the tens. I cant leave that place
empty. Or, what if I tried recording the 6 ones in the tens
place? Then, my answer would really be wrong! I can
always use multiplication or estimation to check my work in
case I may have recorded wrong.

Problem Set (20 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the Problem
Set within the allotted 20 minutes. For some classes, it may be
appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which
problems they work on first. Some problems do not specify a
method for solving. Students should solve these problems using
the RDW approach used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Solve division problems with a zero in
the dividend or with a zero in the quotient.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

In Problem 6, did anyone get 128? How did you

know that was wrong?
In Problem 10, the whole had consecutive zeros.
How does your place value knowledge help you
to keep track of where you are dividing?
How does multiplication help you check your
division?
For what reason might there be a zero in the
quotient?
We divide, starting with the largest unit, and see
if there is a remainder. What do we do with the
remaining unit or units? How is that different
than what we do in the ones place?
Normally, we stop dividing at the ones place, and
if theres a remainder, we give the remainder
with the quotient. What if we were dividing up
money? If we got down to the ones place, using
dollars, what could we do?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete
the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you assess
the students understanding of the concepts that were
presented in the lesson today and plan more effectively for
future lessons. You may read the questions aloud to the
students.

25 tens divided by 7 is easy. Its 3 tens with 4 tens left over. I counted by sevens, 10 at a time:
10 sevens is 70, 20 sevens is 140, 30 sevens is 210, and 40 sevens would be too big. So, I got 30
sevens with 49 left over. Thats still means you get 3 tens in the quotient. One way is like we did
with place value disks. The other is like we did with the area model. But theyll both give the same
answer.
Either way of thinking will work for finding the quotient. When our divisor is large, how do I check
to see if my quotient and remainder are correct?
The same way we always do! Its no different for big divisors than for small divisorsmultiply the
number of groups times the size of each group. And, dont forget to add the remainder.
Multiply the divisor by the quotient and add the remainder.
So, what we learned about small divisors still helps us now!

I recorded and labeled the total of 249 pencils. Then, I made 8 equal parts because there are 8
students. I need to solve for how many in each group, so I put a question mark in one part to show
that I need to solve for how many pencils each student will get.
Solve for how many pencils each student will receive. (Allow students time to work.)
Each student will receive 31 colored pencils. There will be 1 pencil left over.
Does your drawing of the tape diagram account for the remaining pencil? Lets revise our tape
diagram to show the remainder.
I can shade a small portion at the end of the tape diagram to represent the remaining pencil. I will
have to resize each of the eight parts to make them equal.
Discuss a strategy you might have used when dividing by a larger divisor, like 8.
I counted by 8 tens. 8 tens, 16 tens, 24 tens. I know there are 2 fours in each eight. There are 6
fours in 24. So, half of 6 is 3. There are 3 eights in 24. I used my facts. I know 8 times 3 tens is
24 tens.

What strategy did you use for dividing with the divisor of 9?
I counted by 9 tens. 9 tens, 18 tens. One hundred eighty was too big. I used a special strategy. I
made 10 nets which meant I used 90 meters of netting. That left 65 meters. Nine times 7 is 63 so
that meant 7 more nets and 2 meters left over. I used my nines facts.

Mr. Hughes can make 17 nets.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Interpret and find whole number
quotients and remainders to solve one-step division word
problems with larger divisors of 6, 7, 8, and 9.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

In Problem 2, are you solving for the quotient,

the remainder, or both? Why?
Did you have to revise your tape diagram for any
of the problems? If so, which one(s), and why?
In Problem 4, did anyone get 15 teams? Why
would that be an easy mistake to make?
How could a special strategy be used to solve
Problem 1?
How did yesterdays lesson prepare you for
todays lesson?
Revisit the Application Problem. Revise the word
problems using a divisor of 6 and solve. Compare
the quotients. Do you see a relationship between
the quotients? Did you need to divide 4,194 by 6,
or could you have gotten the new quotient
directly from the previous quotient (1,398)?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete
the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you assess
the students understanding of the concepts that were
presented in the lesson today and plan more effectively for
future lessons. You may read the questions aloud to the
students.

Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

In Problem 1, is there another way Ursula could

have represented the division problem with an
area model? Would your number bond in 1(b)
need revision if the area model changed?
Compare your area model in Problem 2(a) to your
partners. Is it easier to solve the area model
separating it into 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts, etc.?
How do you decide how many parts are needed
when building the area model for division?
How are area models, number bonds, and the
long division algorithm connected? Is there a
correct order in which to use them to solve
division problems?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete
the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you assess
the students understanding of the concepts that were
presented in the lesson today and plan more effectively
for future lessons. You may read the questions aloud to
the students.

Module 3 closes with Topic H as students

multiply two-digit by two-digit numbers.
Lesson 34 begins this topic by having students
use the area model to represent and solve the
multiplication of two-digit multiples of 10 by
two-digit numbers using a place value chart.
Practice with this model helps to prepare
students for two-digit by two-digit multiplication
and builds the understanding of multiplying
units of 10. In Lesson 35, students extend their
learning to represent and solve the same type of
problems using area models and partial
products.
In Lesson 36, students make connections to the
distributive property and use both the area model and four partial products to solve problems. Lesson 37
deepens students understanding of multi-digit multiplication by transitioning from four partial products with
representation of the area model to two partial products with representation of the area model and finally to
two partial products without representation of the area model.

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

Topic H culminates at the most abstract level with Lesson 38 as students are introduced to the multiplication
algorithm for two-digit by two-digit numbers. Knowledge from Lessons 3437 provides a firm foundation for
understanding the process of the algorithm as students make connections from the area model to partial
products to the standard algorithm (4.NBT.5). Students see that partial products written vertically are the
same as those obtained via the distributive property: 4 twenty-sixes + 30 twenty-sixes = 104 + 780 = 884.

How can you tell? Turn and talk to your partner.

The total length is 4 tens. We can write 4 tens as 4 times 10 or 40. You can either find the
area of the smallest rectangle and multiply it by four or just multiply 40 times 22.
We can say that 40 22 = 4 10 22 or 10 4 22.
Yes.
Thats good, because we can solve 4 times 10 times 22, but 40 times 22 is new territory.

50 31 is the same 50 (30 + 1). Discuss with your

We drew 31 as 3 tens and 1 one on the place value

31 is the same as 50 groups of 30 and 50 groups of 1.
Its the break apart and distribute property!
Its the distributive property!
50 (30 + 1) = 50 30 + 50 1. Can you see that on

OF ENGAGEMENT:
Challenge students working above
grade level to do mental computations.
For example, students can use the
distributive property to think of 6 560
as (6 500) + (6 60) and then solve
using what they know about
multiplying multiples of 10.
Students who are not ready for the
mental computations may continue to
draw the area model used in previous
lessons to confirm their final product.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach
used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Multiply two-digit multiples of 10 by
two-digit numbers using a place value chart.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

In Problem 1(a), is it best to model 30 or 24 on

the chart initially? Why?
Tell your partner how you used the associative
property in Problem 3(a). Is there an order you
find easier for multiplying the three factors like
when multiplying using the place value chart?
Why was it helpful to break the multiple of 10 into two factors before solving?
How did distributing the second factor in Problem 4 of the Concept Development make it easier to
solve?
Compare Problems 3(a) and 4(a). Why did you get the same answer by using two different
methods? What does this tell you about the associative and distributive property? Compare their
processes. How are they different?
How did representing the multiplication with disks help you solve and understand the
multiplication?
How did the Application Problem connect to todays lesson?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you
assess the students understanding of the concepts that were presented in the lesson today and plan more

Aside from the place value chart, what is another way

that we have represented multiplication?
Arrays. Equal groups. The area model.
Lets use an area model to show 30 25.
Since 30 25 = 10 (3 25), lets represent 3 25 first
since we already know how to draw area models for
one-digit by two-digit multiplication. (Draw an area
model to represent 3 25.) Weve decomposed 3 25
into what two products? Give me an expression for
each in unit form.
3 2 tens and 3 5 ones.
3 2 tens is?
6 tens.
And, 3 5 ones?
15 ones.
So, 3 25 is?
75.
What unit does this 3 have right now?
Ones.
Lets change that unit. Lets make it tens. (Draw the
new area model.) What new multiplication problem is
represented?
30 25.
Lets find the total area by finding partial products
again. (Point to the 30 by 5 rectangle.) In unit form,
give me a multiplication sentence to find the area of
this portion.
3 tens 5 = 15 tens.
Do we need to put a unit on the 5?
It would be ones. We dont always have to say the
unit when its just ones.
(Record as shown. Then, point to the 30 by 20
rectangle.) In unit form, give me a multiplication
sentence to find the area of this rectangle.
3 tens 2 tens = 6 hundreds.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF REPRESENTATION:
Help students understand that
multiplying tens, unlike adding, will
result in a larger unit. Here, 3 tens
times 2 tens is 6 hundreds, not 6 tens.
To clarify, refer back to the magnifying
arrows on the place value chart, the
number form, or place value blocks
(cubes, longs, and flats).

I noticed this time you gave me the units of both factors. Why?
They were both tens. This way, I can just think of 3 2, and all I have to do is figure out what the
new unit will be. Tens times tens gives me hundreds.
Find the product for 30 25, and discuss with your partner how the two products, (3 25) and
(30 25), are related.
One was 75 and the other was 750. Thats 10 times as much. The first was 6 tens plus 15 ones.
The other was 6 hundreds plus 15 tens. For the first one, we did 3 5 and 3 20. On the second,
we just multiplied the 3 by 10 and got 30 5 and 30 20. Thats 150 + 600, or 750. The only
difference was the unit on the 3. 3 ones were changed to 3

(Record partial products as 240 and 1,800.)
What does the partial product of 240 represent?
The area of the small rectangle. 6 tens times 4.
What does the partial product of 1,800 represent?
The area of the larger part. 6 tens times 3 tens.
How do we find the product for 60 34?
We need to add the partial products.
240 + 1,800 = 2,040. 60 34 = 2,040.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach used
for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Multiply two-digit multiples of 10 by
two-digit numbers using the area model.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a conversation
to debrief the Problem Set and process the lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

How is Problem 1 of the Problem Set less complex

than the others?
How do Problems 37 lend themselves to the use
of the area model?
Can you explain why Problems 6 and 7 have the
same product?
What can you say about area models for Problems
8 and 9?
When we record partial products, do we have to
start with the one with the smallest place value?
Will we get a different result if we start with the
tens?
When we multiply by a multiple of 10, why is there
always a 0 in the ones place?
What significant math vocabulary did we use today
to communicate precisely?
How did the Application Problem connect to todays lesson?

OF ENGAGEMENT:
Lead a discussion with students in

representing expressions in numerical
form and unit form. Be sure that
students understand that there are
different ways to express numbers in
both written and oral form.

(Use the context of the Application Problem to

continue with todays lesson.) Mr. Goggins set up an
additional 4 rows of chairs with 35 chairs in each row.
Lets change our area model to represent the
additional rows. (Revise the area model.)
What is the length of this entire side? (Point to the vertical length.)
34.
And the length of this side? (Point to the horizontal length.)
35.
Use the area formula. What expression is shown by the area model now?
34 35.
We can use the area model to help us represent two-digit times two-digit multiplication. Write the
expressions that represent the areas of the two smaller rectangles that we just created.
4 5 and 4 30.
Lets say the expressions in unit form to help us
understand their value. Using the units for each
factor, say 4 5 and 4 30 in unit form.
4 ones 5 ones and 4 ones 3 tens.
Write those unit expressions in each rectangle. How
can we use these expressions and the expressions of
the other two rectangles to find the area of the whole
rectangle?
We can find the sum of all of the smaller areas.
Lets represent this using the distributive property.
We are going to move from top to bottom, right to left
to represent the areas of the smaller rectangles. You
tell me the numerical expressions as I point to each of
the smaller rectangles. I will write what you say. 34
35 equals?
34 35 = (4 5) + (4 30) + (30 5) + (30 30).
Now, express this same number sentence in unit form (without rewriting).
34 35 = (4 ones 5 ones) + (4 ones 3 tens) + (3 tens 5 ones) + (3 tens 3 tens).
Now, we are ready to solve! First, lets find each of the four partial products. Then, we can add the
four partial products to find 34 35.
20 ones + 12 tens + 15 tens + 9 hundreds = 20 + 120 + 150 + 900 = 1,190.

We multiply the tens. 2 tens 4 ones and then 2 tens 3 tens.
What are 2 tens 4 ones and 2 tens 3 tens?
8 tens and 6 hundreds.
Lets record these as partial products. Notice that we have four partial products. Lets again identify
from where they came. (Point to each part of the algorithm as students chorally read the
expressions used to solve the two-digit by two-digit multiplication.)
6 ones 4 ones = 24 ones. 6 ones 3 tens = 18 tens. 2 tens 4 ones = 8 tens. 2 tens 3 tens = 6
hundreds.
What is their sum?
24 + 180 + 80 + 600 = 884. 26 34 = 884.
Visualize to relate this back to the area model that we drew earlier.

Repeat for 38 43. You might first draw the area model (without multiplying out the partial products) and
then erase it so that students again visualize the connection.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach
used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Multiply two-digit by two-digit
numbers using four partial products.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions below to lead the discussion.

How does Problem 1(a) support your understanding of the distributive property and partial
products?

products. Sylvie solved the expression as seen to the right. Is
her answer correct? Why or why not?
Note: This Application Problem builds on the content of
Lessons 34, 35, and 36. Students now have a solid foundation
upon which to build understanding of two-digit by two-digit
multiplication. They move from pictorial representations to
abstract representations. This Application Problem guides such
movement and builds to the content of todays lesson where
students see how all of the work that they have done fits
together and prepares them to solve using the standard

Write 24 36 vertically and then represent by

One rectangle represents 4 thirty-sixes and

Did you record the 15 or 57 as the width of the

rectangle in Problem 3? Does it matter the
order? Which number as the width is easiest for
you to solve the rest of the problem? Explain.
Imagine the area models for Problems 4(c) and
4(d). Notice how the rectangle in (d) is half as
wide and double the length of (c). What might
the areas look like? Why does that result in the
same product?
How does the shading on the area models help
you understand the movement from four partial

Solve 20 67 vertically as you say the unit form: 2 tens times 7 ones plus 2 tens times 6 tens. You
have one minute. If you finish early, go on to 20 78.
(Allow students a minute to work.) 2 tens times 7 ones is?
14 tens. (Write 140.)
2 tens times 6 tens is?
12 hundreds. (Write 1,200.)
The sum of 140 and 1,200 is?
1,340.
20 groups of 67 is?
1,340.

Continue with the following possible sequence: 20 78, 30 45, 30 67, and 40 75.

Application Problem (5 minutes)

Sandys garden has 42 plants in each row. She has 2 rows of
yellow corn and 20 rows of white corn.
Draw an area model (representing two partial products) to
show how much yellow corn and white corn has been planted in
the garden.
Note: This problem revisits the area model that focuses on two
partial products in preparation for work with the standard
algorithm. The area model used in the Application Problem will
be used in Problem 1 of the Concept Development.

Concept Development (35 minutes)

Materials: (S) Personal white boards
Problem 1: Represent 22 42 with the distributive property
and connect the two partial products to the standard algorithm.
T: Look at the model you drew in the Application
Problem. We found the total for 22 rows of 42, or 22
forty-twos. What multiplication expression is that?
S: 22 42.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
When multiplying two-digit by twodigit numbers, use place value cards
(e.g., Hide Zero cards) to represent the
factors. The cards provide a concrete
representation of the place value of
each digit within the factors and are
another way to promote
understanding of the multiplication
algorithm.

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For
some classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which problems they work on
first. Some problems do not specify a method for solving. Students should solve these problems using the
RDW approach used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Transition from four partial products to
the standard algorithm for two-digit by two-digit
multiplication.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.

What is the relationship between the product for

Problem 1 and Problem 2 of the Problem Set?

Mid-Module Assessment Task

Standards Addressed

Topics AD

Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.

4.OA.1

Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 7 as a

statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal
statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.

4.OA.2

Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by

using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the
problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.

4.OA.3

Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number
answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be
interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the
unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and
estimation strategies including rounding.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
4.NBT.5

Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply
two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of
operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays,
and/or area models.

Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller
unit.
4.MD.3

Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical
problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring
and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown
factor.

Evaluating Student Learning Outcomes

A Progression Toward Mastery is provided to describe steps that illuminate the gradually increasing
understandings that students develop on their way to proficiency. In this chart, this progress is presented
from left (Step 1) to right (Step 4). The learning goal for each student is to achieve Step 4 mastery. These
steps are meant to help teachers and students identify and celebrate what the student CAN do now, and
what they need to work on next.

End-of-Module Assessment Task
Standards Addressed

Topics AH

Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.

4.OA.1

Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 7 as a

statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal
statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.

4.OA.2

Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by

using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the
problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.

4.OA.3

Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number
answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be
interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the
unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and
estimation strategies including rounding.

Gain familiarity with factors and multiples.

4.OA.4

Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1100. Recognize that a whole
number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in
the range 1100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given
whole number in the range 1100 is prime or composite.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
4.NBT.5

Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply
two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of
operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays,
and/or area models.

4.NBT.6

Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and onedigit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or
the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation
by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller
unit.
4.MD.3

Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical
problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring
and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown
factor.

Evaluating Student Learning Outcomes

A Progression Toward Mastery is provided to describe steps that illuminate the gradually increasing
understandings that students develop on their way to proficiency. In this chart, this progress is presented
from left (Step 1) to right (Step 4). The learning goal for each student is to achieve Step 4 mastery. These
steps are meant to help teachers and students identify and celebrate what the student CAN do now and what
they need to work on next.
