Introduction

5. Describe and apply mental math strategies to

determine basic multiplication facts to 9 x 9.
Such Strategies include:
o Skip counting from a known fact
o Using doubling or halving
o Using patterns in the 9s facts
o Using repeated doubling

Students will:
Apply strategies for multiplication and related division facts to 9
9.

Formatively, I will ask questions and observe students

strategies on how they received the answer.
Students completion of the worksheet
Set of Popsicle Sticks with each students name on it
Dominos
Worksheet
Whiteboard marker
Before Lesson- set up all materials that we will be
using. Have 8 dominos at each students desk along
with a worksheet. Have dominos face down so
students do not have time to gain insight before
allowed work time. Make it very clear that students are
not to touch the dominos while instruction is taking
place.
Do a review of what we learned yesterday: Quick mad
multiplication minutes Go around the room and
randomly choose (using class set of popsicle sticks)
students to give different multiplication facts. (1

minute)
Introduce what we will be doing today: Multiplication
Dominos (1-2 minutes)
Explain what the idea of the dominos activity will be.
General Idea: Is each student will try to complete as
many dominos as they can in the allowed time frame.
Allow a minute for questions from students (1-2
minutes)
Time allowed: 3-5 minutes
Re-explain what the dominos are for (ask a student to
repeat the instructions that were given) (1 minute)
Complete worksheet (7-8 minutes) Depending on
questions
Make sure students know that each worksheet is to be
completed individually but you can work collaboratively
with peers around you.
To Reconvene put your hand up in the air and start
counting down from 10 and students will know that its
time to stop and we will move on to closure.
Time allowed: 7-9 minutes
Do a quick review of some dominos that you have on
your front table (2 minute)
What are some strategies you used when multiplying
(counting on fingers, skip counting, repeated addition,
groups, arrays, etc.) (1 minute)
ONLY if time permitted, have some dominos already on
the board for kids to recap with (If SMART board is
working have blank worksheet up and have more
examples to work with), or if some students finish early
ask them to come up and do one or two on the board
with them OR work with a partner to complete more
dominos.
Time allowed: 3 minutes
