Length of Lesson: 2 Hours

Lesson Overview/Rationale:
Students will understand the concept of multiplying and dividing to figure out problems to learn
about their partner. Students will work in groups of 2.

Curriculum Framework/Standard:
“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.” Page 25.

Learning Objectives:
 Students will be able to multiply two numbers to get a solution.
 Students will be able to divide two numbers to get a solution.
 Students will learn a little more about their partner.
Technology Uses:

partners to their class.
9. Each person will solve for their partners answer and write them on a sheet of paper, then
they write two new things they learned about their partner that they know already.

Assessment:
 I will check if students were able to choose two numbers that equaled their answer when
they come and show the teacher.
 Each student will turn in a paper of their partners name questions and how they solved to
get to the answer.
 Students will present to the class about their partner.
