This is a fun, interactive number sense lesson that exposes students to problem solving, critical thinking and the concepts of multiplication. Students explore ways that they can have 12 wheels using bikes, trikes, and wagons. Students learn to make organized lists as they try to find all the possible ways that they can make a given amount of wheels using bikes, trikes and wagons. The lesson comes with detailed instructions, graphic organizers for students to organize their thinking and pictures of bikes, trikes and wagons for students to manipulate.

I have been a 4th grade classroom teacher for many years in a large urban school district. I am currently working as a mathematics coach in an urban elementary school. In my role as math coach I am able to help teachers be the best math teachers that they can while also helping our k-5 students gain a deeper understanding of the world of mathematics.
