Subject: Math

Grade Level: 3rd Grade

Unit: Multiplication

Time Estimate: 45-60 min.

Topic: Number Lines

Goal(s):
The learner will understand how to use number lines in order to solve multiplication
problems through 12x12.
The learner will understand that there are many different strategies that they can use in
order to solve a multiplication problem.
Objective(s):
The learner will demonstrate their knowledge of number lines by generating their own
multiplication sentences and using number lines that they created in order to solve with
80% accuracy.
The learner will demonstrate their knowledge of multiplication by solving each problem
using a variety of multiplication strategies with 80% accuracy.
TEKS:
111.5.4E - Represent multiplication facts by using a variety of approaches such as
repeated addition, equal-sized groups, arrays, area models, equal jumps on a number line,
and skip counting
Materials/Resources/Technology needs:
White board, station worksheets, grid paper, dry erase markers, colored pencils, pencils,
Exit Ticket, baskets.

Instructional Procedures
Focusing Event:
-What are some different strategies that one could use in order to solve multiplication
problems?
-Today we are going to learn to use a number line to help us multiply.

-This strategy is similar to skip counting.

Teaching/ Learning Procedures:
-The teacher will do some examples of multiplying using a number line on the board.
-Students will copy the examples into their Math journals.
-The teacher will explain each workstation.
-Children will practice their multiplication strategies at each station.
-Students will switch between 6 stations.
Formative Check (ongoing or specific):
I will formatively assess these children through observation and questioning. I will also
look over students station papers and exit tickets in order to check for understanding.
Reteach (alternative used as needed):
If students need extra practice, I will go over extra examples on the white board. I will
add number lines to the daily math review. Throughout the lesson, I will be available to
work one on one or pull small groups with students who need extra practice with the
number lines. I will make myself available for students who are in need of extra
assistance before and after class time.
Closure:
Exit Ticket:
Make your own number line and solve for 6x6=?
Reflection: Which multiplication strategy do you like best? Why?
Assessment/Summative Evaluation:
Students will be assessed through an end of unit pencil paper assessment.

Modifications/Notes:
G.T.: I will call on these students to explain their correct answers to the class for the
particularly challenging questions. If these students finish early they will have the option
of working on there envision project.
ELL:N/A
Sp.Ed.: These students will be provided with teacher notes and extra examples as needed.
