(15-20 students) Learning Environment: Large classroom with computers, overhead projectors and several round tables. Lesson Plan: Properties of Addition and Multiplication Overview Objective We are wanting to teach children the properties of addition and multiplication. Students will be able to recognize the different properties and use them when solving problems. Given the formula, students will be able to recognize the properties it represents. The students will be able to connect the definition of the properties with the name of the properties. The student and their mentors will be able to write out the properties formulas when given the name of the property. Students will be able to answer 13/16 of the questions correctly on the worksheet.

Standards

MA.6.7 2000 - Problem Solving: Students make decisions about how to approach problems and communicate their ideas.
MA.6.7.1 2000

Analyze problems by identifying relationships, telling relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns.

We will start off by introducing the different properties of addition. We will open up the link: http://linoit.com/groups/Case%202%20for%2 0EDCI/canvases/6th%20Grade%20Math as a visual guide for the students. Remember last week when we talked about how addition and multiplication are related? Today we are going to delve deeper and talk even more about how they are related. We will first start off by going over the different properties of addition. 2. After giving the definition and examples of the properties of addition, we will move on to the properties of multiplication. Now that we have covered the properties of addition, we will now go onto the properties of multiplication. You may notice how similar they are, but be careful! They are both unique in their own ways. 3. After explaining the different properties of multiplication, we will hand out a worksheet for the students and their mentors to pair up to

Procedures

answer multiple choice questions on the properties. Now that you know what the properties are for multiplication and addition, go work with your mentor and see if you both can finish this worksheet together. Remember, if you need help, your mentor is there for your questions. 4. The mentors are to assist the students when they need help but not do the problems for them. 5. The students will have to be able to correctly select the definitions with the equations. Assessment Students will be assessed on whether or not they accurately selected the answer in multiple choice format. Students will be required to correctly answer 13 out of 16 of the questions to pass.
