Blended Learning Lesson Plan

Lesson Title: Utilizing Multiplication and Division in the Real World.

Objectives:
Students will be able to

- solve mathematical problems related to multiplication and division.


- utilize and discuss the reasoning behind how to solve a problem and what their answers mean in
the context of a problem.
State Standards
3a. Construct and justify a solution to a problem.
3b. Compare and discuss the validity of various reasoning strategies.
3d. Reflect on and provide thoughtful responses to the reasoning of others.

Context:
This is a 3rd grade math lesson on multiplication and division. They will be learning how to use
these skills in order to solve real-world problems. Students will have already learned how to multiply and
divide utilizing many different strategies. The lesson prior included brushing up these skills in order to lay
a foundation for today’s lesson. After today, students will move on to a new unit about fractions and
decimals. The current we’re in is about adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers and
integers. Then, learning how to apply these skills in the real-world. Next unit will include utilizing the
same strategies as before, but with fractions and decimals. In today’s lesson, we will finalize our
multiplication and division skills using real-world problems, which will set us up to accomplish this with
integers in tomorrow’s lesson. After next class, we will begin our next unit.

Data:
Students will be grouped by where they sit in class. The class is set up by groups of 4 or 5 desks.
This decision has been based on who has worked well together with who throughout the year. Each
student also has their own set of strengths and weaknesses, so each table has a variety of skills. This data
will have come from past assignments and test scores. This is so that any students who may be falling
behind in one area, another student who may be mastering those skills can help their peers. During this
lesson, data will be collected through a point system, so however many questions they got right will be
compared to where I will expect them to be at for each skill level.

Materials: List all materials used (i.e. websites, apps, pencils, iPads, computers, worksheets,
diagrams, textbooks, etc.)
Introduction: Interactive Power Point (on main screen in classroom that students will get up to participate
in). This will include a video, fill in the blank, and other interactive elements that will help students of all
skill-levels.

Teacher Directed: Worksheets with problems on them, and questions that will ask them to prove why
their answer is correct and how it relates to the problem. I will have a worksheet to record answers on (for
the point system).

Collaborative: Bowls for each candy (M&M’s, Sour Patch Kids, and Lollipops). Worksheet/prompts at
each bowl with directions. Worksheet that students will record answers on.

Independent: Chromebooks that students will use to play one game of their choosing on
https://www.mathplayground.com/grade_3_games.html

Closure: Chromebooks to fill out google form provided by me.

Procedures:
Introduction (15-20 min):
I will review skills we learned in the last class with my students using an interactive power point
that I will guide them through. We will go over times tables and instruction on how to long multiply and
divide, or any other strategies we discussed in the previous lesson. Then, we will discuss as a class how
we can utilize these skills in real life. During this discussion, I will provide examples of real-world
problems and go over how to justify them and what the answers mean in the context of each problem. I
will then instruct my students how to complete each of the activities they will be completing and how to
record their scores/points so that I can keep track of each student’s progress.

Teacher Directed (10 min):


I will hand out the worksheets to each student individually, but they will work on them as a group
(this is for students to write down their own answers whether, or not, they agree with the group). I will let
them work on each problem as a group, then allow them to check their answers and justifications with
me. I will first guide them through the questions and help them set up the equations if needed, but I will
encourage each group to combine their skillsets and figure out the problems on their own. Then, I will
check each students work individually to see if their answers are correct, and if their justifications make
sense with the original problem. Students will still receive points if their justifications are correct, but
their answer is wrong. I will keep track of their progress at this station using my workbook.

Collaborative (10 min):


Students will work in their groups to practice real-world multiplication and division using
different assortments of candy. This is similar to the Teacher Direction rotation; however, they must
utilize the candy to model the problem. Each problem will be a different candy (ex. M&M’s, Sour Patch
Kids, and Lollipops). They will be following the prompts on the worksheets provided at each bowl (or
bowls) of candy. These questions will prompt them to solve problems using the candy and discussing
their reasoning behind their answers. Students must use their own personal worksheets to record their
answers. These answers include their finished layout of the candy model, their answers, and their
justifications.

Independent Digital (10 min):


Students will utilize their chrome books in order to practice these skills individually. They will be
allowed to pick whichever multiplication or division game using the Math Playground website. The game
of their choosing must be from the 3rd grade category and must be either a multiplication or division
game. I will have already showed them these instructions during the introduction. Students may play as
many rounds of the game as they would like during this rotation, however they must take a screenshot of
their progress at the end in order to submit it later. Students will earn points by completing this activity,
not on their scores for the game.

Closure (5-10 min):


Students will be asked to use their chrome books and fill out the google form asking them for
feedback on today’s lesson. This will also be where they put in their answers for each question at the
collaborative station, as well as their screenshot of their progress from the game they played at the
individual station. I will utilize this data combined with the data from the Teacher Directed station to
figure out how many points each student received. I will also use this data in comparison to the correct
answers from each problem at all stations to make sure everyone is on the right track. I will also use this
time to discuss how everyone is feeling about this lesson and answer any questions they still have.

Rationale:
Math Playground (https://www.mathplayground.com/grade_3_games.html ): This website
is a fun and helpful tool to practice multiplication and division skills. It’s perfectly geared
towards my students because it’s at their grade level, and there are a variety of games to
pick from so that all students can participate and hopefully enjoy the game they choose.
The games area also challenging enough where my students will have to use the skills
they have been learning and practicing so far to complete the game. Students will also be
encouraged to play games that require skills they aren’t as comfortable with so that they
are challenged properly.

YouTube (https://youtu.be/oF2fITujB4c?si=zms_HHxkbPHKAHq4 ): This video will be


played during the interactive power point in my introduction. This video explains
division in simple, real-world problems that are easy to understand and relate to today’s
lesson. The video also includes different methods of division which is helpful to remind
my students of the different strategies we discussed in the previous lesson. This video can
also have captions turned on so that all students can follow along.
