Lesson plan 3: Real world multiplication

Performance Objective

Students are to build a real world understanding of why and how multiplication is used. Students

will discuss how they use multiplication in their own lives and how they will have to use

multiplication in the future. They will develop their own multiplication problem in word form.

Students are measured proficient by completing 2 real world word problems with shown

completion of double digit multiplication paired with each word problem.

Chromebook – Khanacademy account

Time: 90 minutes

Step 1: Pre-instructional activities


I will read the learning targets from the board and ask students to do the same. They will then

talk to a shoulder partner and have them explain in their own words what it means. Once time

has been given for that, we will bring it back to the whole class for a discussion on multiplication

and what they know about it.

Students will then be given a KWL chart to fill out on double digit multiplication.

Step 2: Content presentation

I will start a discussion on what multiplication means in their own words. We will look back and

discuss what they remember from fourth grade. I will take them on a multiplication equation and

repeat the steps for a standard algorithm. I will check for understanding through each step in the

problem. We will then try to represent each number in the equation and come up with a story

behind it or word problem. I will model how to complete the single by triple digit multiplication

problem step by step. If the problem was 5 multiplied by 214, I would model, “stack the two

numbers on top of one another, the number with the fewest digits goes on bottom. On your

equation is set up take the ones place values and multiple them together which would be what

two numbers? (5 and 4) Giving us an answer of? (20) The zero goes below the ones places value

column in our answer row and we put the 2 where? (above the 1 in the tens value to be added

after our second step) now we move over to 4’s neighbor in 214 which is? (1) Okay then we

multiply 5 and what number to get our second step answer? (multiply 1 with 5 giving us 5) Make

sure you add the 2 from our first step otherwise we will get totally different answers! Lastly we

multiple our 5 with the hundreds place value which is? (2) when we multiply that together we get

10 as a product. The 10 is placed with the 7 and 0 giving us an answer of 1070.

Step 3: Learner Participation


I will put two new numbers on the board and let students brainstorm for a minute what story or

word problem can they come up with. I will preference that they can come up with any situation

now (real or fake) but towards the end of the lesson they will need to create a real life/world

example. I will let students talk amongst themselves on their creation and then take a few

students who would want to tell theirs to the class. Students will complete the problem on the

board. Students will then discuss among their seating groups what they came up with for a word

problem and what they had for an answer. Students will have to multiply each other’s word

problems in or to make sure their answers are correct.

Step 4: Assessment

Students will be given a template for single by multi-digit worksheet that they will fill in. They

will be told to fill in a complete the worksheet, but for 3 of the problems they must create a real

world word problem making the numbers they multiplied represent something. Students will be

expected to complete this on their own. They will be given the remainder of class time to

complete their task.

Step 5: Follow through-activity

Students will receive an exit slip which will have them complete a single by multi-digit

multiplication problem and on the back tell me how they feel about multiplication - good, okay,

not good. Students who will finish first will have log onto Khan Academy and complete the

assigned tasks that I will create. These tasks include an introductory exercise of multi digit

multipclation for 5th grade standards as well as challenging word problems for them to complete

by the end of the week. This will reinforce the learning of this unit throughout the week
Summary: Although the lesson is geared towards real world background knowledge. In order to

correctly use the standard algorithm, they need to listen to a specific set of instructions in order

to get the desired result, a correct answer. This points me in the direction of behaviorist theory.

The real world knowledge is an opener to connect the value of why the students need to learn

this. Because of the gradual release, the students are able to explore why an answer is correct

and are able to identify why they did not get a correct answer.
