Introduction
Read the following problem as students follow along: Harvey the Hop Toad
to Lesson
jumps 4 times in the same direction. He jumps 5 inches in each jump. How can
you show how far he goes on the number line? Think aloud: I know I’m asked to
show how far I can jump, I can use the number line to show the total length of
the road would in 4 jumps. I can represent the road’s jumps by using skip
counting and arrows to show the total number of units, or total number of jumps.
I can show the frogs jumps using addition and multiplication
5=5=5=5=20 which is 4x5=20
Discussion Questions: What are you asked to do? How do you represent
the toad’s total jumps on the number line? What does multiplication
look like on the number line? How many arrows do you need to join
together? How long does each arrow need to be?
We will read the question together: Clara is making gift bags for her 5 friends.
She wants to put 3 glitter pens in each gift bag. How many glitter pens does
Guided
Clara need? I can use a number line and skip counting to show multiplication.
Practice/
Exploration
Ask: How are the quantities in the problem related? What operation can you use
to solve the problem? What number do you need to skip count? Why is each
arrow 3 units long?
Closing/ When math period is almost over, students will clean up their workspace. Tell
Discussion the students that tomorrow, we will continue to work on multiplication.
