Objectives:
Students will be able to
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

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.
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.
