Getting Started Mental Math and Reflexes Students use their Multiplication/Division Fact Triangles to practice the facts in the Try Again pile. They transfer appropriate triangles to the OK pile and color the OK facts in the table on journal page, fasten their new piles with paper clips, and store them. Math Message What do you think the missing digits are Study Link Follow-Up Ask volunteers to write solutions on the board. Students indicate thumbs-up if they agree with the solution. Challenge students to find a way to solve mentally. Sample answer: Multiply by. The answer is half of this product, or,. Teaching the Lesson Math Message Follow-Up WHOLE-CLASS DISCUSSION Students share answers. The pair of digits in each cell names the product of two digits outside the lattice one above the cell of the lattice and the other to the right of the cell of the lattice. Thus, the missing digits in the first lattice form the product of and (). The missing digits in the second lattice form the product of and (). Teaching Aid Master Lattice Multiplication Computation Grids Tell students that in this lesson they will review the lattice method for multiplication. Introduced in Third Grade Everyday Mathematics, this algorithm relies almost entirely on the recall of basic multiplication facts. If students do not yet have a favorite multiplication algorithm, the lattice method is a good one to suggest. Demonstrating the Lattice Method for -Digit Multipliers (Math Masters, p. ) WHOLE-CLASS Math Masters, p. Demonstrate the lattice method using the following examples. Students should show their work using the computation grids on Math Masters, page. Unit Big Numbers, Estimation, and Computation
Example: Use the lattice method to multiply. A lattice ususally consists of two or more cells with diagonals. Write and above the cells of the lattice. Write on the right side. Multiply. Write the answer as shown. NOTE The lattice method is a very efficient algorithm, no matter how many digits are in the factors. For problems with - and -digit multipliers, the lattice method takes about the same amount of time as the partial-products algorithm or the traditional multiplication algorithm. For problems with three or more digits in the factors, the lattice method is much faster and much more likely to yield a correct answer. Multiply. Write the answer as shown. Starting at the right, add the numbers inside the lattice along each diagonal. Read the answer starting on the left side of the lattice and continuing across the bottom.. Adjusting the Activity Have students look up the term lattice in the dictionary and think of places where they might see lattices, such as a gate, a window, or a patio. Have students discuss why this word is used to describe the multiplication algorithm. ELL The sum of the numbers along a diagonal may be a -digit number. When this happens, write the ones digit in the answer space and the tens digit at the top of the next diagonal. AUDITORY KINESTHETIC TACTILE VISUAL Example: Use the lattice method to multiply. The sum of the numbers in the middle diagonal is. Write in the answer space and at the top of the next diagonal. Then add the numbers in that diagonal. Read the answer:.

Demonstrating the Lattice Method for -Digit Multipliers (Math Masters, p. ) WHOLE-CLASS Adjusting the Activity Consider these suggestions for students who need help with the lattice method. Demonstrate the lattice method for -digit multipliers using the example below. Use a transparency of Math Masters, page or copy the lattices onto the board. Students should show their work on the lattice grids. Example: Use the lattice method to multiply. Use an index card to mark the place when adding along each diagonal. Write above the lattice. Write on the right side. Cross out the factors of the problem before adding so those numbers are not accidentally added with the numbers within the grid. Multiply. Then multiply. Multiply. Then multiply. Write the answers as shown. Extend the diagonal lines through the lattice as shown. AUDITORY KINESTHETIC TACTILE VISUAL Starting at the right, add the numbers inside the lattice along each diagonal. The sum of the numbers along the second diagonal is. Write in the answer space and at the top of the next diagonal. Read the answer:. The lattice method of multiplication may seem like a trick. It is not, of course, and place value is evident within the lattice. thousands tens hundreds ones Practicing the Lattice Method with -Digit Multipliers (Math Journal, p. ) Students complete Problems independently.

Ongoing Learning & Practice Playing Multiplication Top-It (Student Reference Book, p. ; Math Masters, p. ) Students play Multiplication Top-It to develop automaticity with multiplication facts. See Lesson - for additional information. Ongoing Assessment: Recognizing Student Achievement Math Masters Page Use Math Masters, page to assess students automaticity with basic multiplication facts. Students are making adequate progress if they can name the product of the factors generated by the two cards. Some students may play a variation of the game and demonstrate the ability to mentally solve -digit by -digit multiplication problems. [Operations and Computation Goal ] Date LESSON Math Boxes Time.
