Lesson Title: Burst into Jolly Multiplication & Division Factors!
|
Lesson Length: 31 to 60 Minutes
|
Target Audience: 3rd Grade
|
Instructional Objectives (Content & Technology)
The following lesson will serve as a hands-on math
activity reviewing the 2’s and 3’s multiplication and division factors.
Students will examine the relationship between multiplication and division
using Starburst and Jolly Rancher candy counters. In addition, the students
will work in cooperative learning groups to solve multiplication and division
problems using the candy counters. Cooperative learning groups may be
created to assist at-risk students if needed (pair low achievers with high
achievers).

Corresponding AL Course of Study Objectives (National
Subject Area Standards) & Technology Standards
MA2013(3) 1.
Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 x 7 as the total
number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. [3-OA1]
MA2013(3) 2.
Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as
the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally
into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into
equal shares of 8 objects each. [3-OA2]

Procedures/Activities
Activity 1
- Explain today’s lesson
will review 2’s and 3’s multiplication & division factors.
- Visually display a
multiplication on the overhead projector (charts could be selected
from http://www.printable-math-worksheets.com/multiplication-charts.html,
but focus on the 2’s and 3’s (one set of factors at a time). For
example, the teacher the teacher will display the 2’s multiplication
factors. The teacher will explain 2 x 6 is interpreted as to 2 groups of
6 objects each (teacher may illustrate on board if needed). The teacher
will repeat this method several times using 2’s and 3’s multiplication
factors.
- After students have
reviewed 2’s and 3’s multiplication factors, the teacher will review
basic concept of division and explain how multiplication is related to
division. For example, the teacher will explain when you divide you are
trying to share parts equally, and display the example below. After
discussing the example, the teacher will explain that multiplication
facts can be used to help solve division problems. Specifically,
explaining and showing how to 2 x 6 = 12 is connected to 12
÷ 2 = 6.
Board Illustration
There are 12 pieces of gum and 2 people
want to share. How many pieces does each person receive?
Key Information:
- 12 pieces of
gum
- 2 people
wanting to share
12 ÷ 2 = 6
2 x 6= 12
This is an excellent interactive site that educators can use to print
student-friendly individual multiplication charts. This website also has
short video tutorials that teachers can use to address other math objectives http://www.printable-math-worksheets.com/multiplication-charts.html.
Activity 2
- After students have
demonstrated that they have a clear understanding of that concept,
additional practice (guided or independently) can be provided by going
to a website entitled Math Fact Café http://www.mathfactcafe.com/view/F/3
(select 2’s/3’s factors). The Math Fact Cafe is an interactive website
that displays multiplication and division problems in the form of a
flashcard form. After students have randomly completed 25 problems the
games highlights all the incorrect problems and display the correct
answers.
Activity 3
- Students will be
divided into several groups (depends on class size). Some of the groups
will work at the Starburst Multiplication Center,
and some of the groups will work at Jolly Rancher
Division Center.
Teachers could create their own personal multiplication and division
activity sheets or select activity sheets from the following website http://www.mathsisfun.com/worksheets/index.php
(multiplication) or http://www.math-drills.com/division.shtml
(division).
- The Starburst Multiplication
Center will
contain Starburst counters that will aid students in solving
multiplication problems using the two and three digit factors. The Jolly Rancher Division
Center will
contain Jolly Rancher counters that will aid students in solving
division problems using the two and three digit factors. The teacher
will walk around and assist the groups as needed.
- After students spend
approximately 10 minutes at each station, the teacher will collect all
of the center activity sheets.
All students will come together
in a whole group setting to go over the problems from both stations. Teacher
will provide feedback as needed.
