Math Lesson

Multiplying Using Expanded Form

I. Essential Questions: How can you use expanded form to multiply a

multidigit number by a 1-digit number?

II. Standards:
4.NBT.B.5- Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole
number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place
value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by
using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

III. Learning Objectives and Assessments:

Objectives Assessments
Students will be able to draw an area model The teacher will assess this by having the
to represent the problem students write their answers on the white
boards.
Students will be able to solve The teacher will assess this by having the
multiplication problems with one, two, and students write their answers on the white
three-digit numbers using the distributive boards.
property.

IV. Materials:
A. White boards, markers, erasers
B. Game board with dice
C. SmartBoard PowerPoint

V. Pre-lesson assignments and/or prior knowledge

Students know how to Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers
using the standard algorithm. The students are also familiar with using models
to represent the mathematical equation.

Lesson beginning: Teacher will introduce the lesson with an interactive PowerPoint that
will provide an example for the students on how to break apart the different place values
of the numbers being multiplied and how to use the Distributive Property to solve the
equation.

VI. Instructional Plan:

A. Teacher will use an interactive PowerPoint to practice how to use the
Distributive Property and have students use their white boards to follow along
 and write their answers down. Volunteers may be asked to come up if the
students are getting a grasp on the topic.
B. After the PowerPoint, the teacher will introduce a game that the students will
play individually at their tables to continue practicing the Distributive
Property and their multiplication skills. This gives the students to work and
play at their time and pace.

Differentiation: Teacher will reinforce appropriate behavior. Teacher

will follow proper lesson routine protocol.

Questions:
A. How can you use expanded form to multiply a multidigit number
by a 1-digit number?
B. How can you write a number in expanded form?
C. How can you use the Distributive Property to multiply?

Classroom Management: If the students are beginning to get noisy,

the teacher will use a small chime for them to quiet down and focus
their eyes on me. Another strategy that could use is asking the students
if someone could show me how they should be sitting in their desks

Transitions: The teacher will chime the bell or do the clap pattern
where the students have to clap back.

Closure: Students will be assigned their homework on what was

learned today. Before the class moves onto the next subject, the
teacher go back to the essential question and ask the students to give a
thumbs up/or thumbs down depending on how they feel about
multiplying using expanded form and distributive property.
