Teaching Gracefully

At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to create an array to represent groups of objects, identify the rows and columns in the array, construct repeating addition and multiplication number sentences to represent arrays, use the multiplication strategies of repeated addition and arrays to model various situations, and solve multiplication number sentences by using multiplication strategies such as repeating addition and skip counting. This lesson plan includes objectives, essentia

By the end of this lesson the students should be able to develop and use strategies for whole-number computations, with a focus on addition and subtraction, model, demonstrate, and act out The commutative property of addition, match number sentences that demonstrate the Commutative Property, construct number sentences that demonstrate the Commutative Property of Addition from a given number sentence, and identify the addends in a number sentence. This lesson plan includes several hands on activ

Cut out and laminate these puzzle pieces to use as a game for students to reinforce and practice the concept that multiplication is repeated addition. The students will match together arrays, multiplication sentences, and repeated addition sentences that all represent the same amount.

Use this powerpoint to teach, show, and demonstrate multiplication strategies and patterns. This powerpoint with transitions and animations is a helpful visual aide that shows students how they can use a multiplication fact table with factors on the top row and first column to find the product where the row and the column intersect. This powerpoint also teaches about arrays and how to find the product of factors by using an array. This powerpoint fives multiple examples using each strategy type

In this project students will practice the skills of adding, multiplying, and dividing multi-digit numbers in a fun, engaging, real world situation. The students get to plan their own field trip by researching and choosing a place to go, recording the price to enter and tour the location, use Google Maps to find the distance from your school to the location, find the average price of gas right now, use multi-digit multiplication to find how much transportation/gas will cost to get to your locat

These word problem task cards have the students apply the skills that they have learned of two digit by two digit multiplication and two step division to solve real-world word problems. Are they able to analyze the word problem and deduce which operation they need to use to solve the problem? These word problems come with an answer sheet that contains the number sentences needed to be used to solve the problem.

After teaching students strategies and procedures for how to divide, have students complete this fun, engaging, and hands on real-world performance task as another method and form of assessment. Bring in candy and have the students figure out different ways to share the candy evenly among all of the students. See how many ways the students can prove to you the number of pieces that each student should receive. The students need to write a word problem and an equation, draw a model, show their wo

Here are 5 real world word problems that involve the process of two step division. Use the first word problem as an example or work through together as guided instruction, then use the rest of the word problems to see if the students can apply the skill of division to solving real world word problems.

Use this I Have, Who Has game to help the students practice the commutative property of addition by matching number sentences to number sentences that have switched the order of their addends.

These number sentence components are designed to be used with the commutative property of addition lesson as a hands on and interactive way for students to model and act out how changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. Have a student stand up front and hold each number sentence component.

These flip flops are designed to be used with the commutative property of addition lesson as a hands on, visual, and interactive way for students to model and act out how changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. See lesson plan for details on how to use.
