Anticipatory Set/Hook: Review multiplication strategies: repeated addition, drawing a picture, skip counting,
arrays.
We will / Objective: understand the relationship among skip counting, repeated addition and multiplication.
I will /Product/Task: use known multiplication combinations to determine the product of more difficult
combinations.
Academic Language: multiplication, division, factor, product, quotient, equal groups, array
 Display SAB p. 14. Ask students to solve and show a strategy for solving their work. Once complete
allow students to discuss with a table partner to share strategies.
 Students complete SAB pages 18 and 24
 Discuss strategies used to solve story problems.
Assessment: student responses, SAB pages 18 and 24.
Anticipatory Set/Hook: Introduce how we can use multiplication to compare.
We will / Objective: learn and apply multiplication facts through 12 by 12 using concrete models and objects.
I will /Product/Task: use multiplication to compare objects.
Academic Language: multiplication, division, factor, product, quotient, equal groups, array
 Students will complete a timed multiplication test (goal is 30 problems in 2 minutes)
 Students will complete problems from enVision Topic 6-3 – pages 122-123.
 Students will create their own story problem that involves using multiplication to compare.
 Have students solve their partner’s problem. Chose a few students to share their strategies.
Assessment: student respsones, answers to pages 122-123
Anticipatory Set/Hook: Introduce using a T-chart/table to solve multiplication problems (see pages 126-127).
We will / Objective: use tables to model multiplication situations.
I will /Product/Task: will use tables to multiply.
Academic Language: multiplication, division, factor, product, quotient, equal groups, array
 Students will use t-charts to complete “Table of W” page.
 Students use a table to complete problems from enVision pages 127-128.
 Critical Writing: Have students explain how to use tables/t-charts to model multiplication.
