Lesson 3

This document provides an overview for a lesson plan that uses equal groups and area models to help students understand multiplication situations. Students will work in groups to roll dice, write multiplication equations to represent the rolls, model the equations with square tiles to make arrays, and find the total area of each array using repeated addition or multiplication. At the end, students will share and discuss how equal groups and arrays are similar and different, how repeated addition represents equal groups, and how repeated addition can also be represented as multiplication.

Essential Question:

Time Frame: 1 Class Period


How will modeling with equal groups help us in understanding multiplication situations?

Overview:
Students will continue developing their understanding of modeling equal groups with
multiplication. The focus is for students to connect area models while representing each model
with square tiles and a multiplication sentence.

Materials:

Envision Video 5.1


Square Tiles
White Boards
Dry Erase Marker
Math Journals (Optional)

Key Vocabulary:

Area
Multiplication

TEACHING PLANS
Introduction
Watch the video with the students.
Review the key vocabulary.
Divide the students into groups of 3-4.

Essential Question:
Time Frame: 1 Class Period
How will modeling with equal groups help us in understanding multiplication situations?

Task
1. Give each pair of students a set of foam dice. Partners will take turns rolling the
dice.
2. Next, each pair will write a multiplication equation to represent the two dice rolled.
3. Have each student model the multiplication equation with square tiles making an
array.
4. Students will find the area of each array using repeated addition or multiplication.
5. Continue repeating Steps 1-4 until their time is up.

Wrap Up
SHARE: Have 1 student make a rectangle and describe it for the rest of the students to
replicate and record.
DISCUSS
Ask:
-How are equal groups similar to arrays?
-How are they different?
-Can you write a repeated addition equation to represent equal groups? What would that
look like?
-Could we represent the repeated addition a different way?
