1 Multiplication Unit Plan Katie Kramer Spring 2013
2 Class: Fifth Grade math with integration of Language Arts. Background: This unit covers the topic of multiplication in math. This unit asks students to apply previous knowledge of multiplication to solve multi-digit, multi-step, and decimal multiplication problems. This is an important math topic because it lays the foundation for future math topics, and multiplication is a skill in which students will use throughout life. Rationale: My rationale for this unit is to educate students on solving multi-digit, decimal multiplication problems. This is an important topic, because multiplication is something that students will encounter in future grades. Even more so, multiplication of decimals (money) will be something that students will encounter on nearly an everyday basis as they grow up. In this unit, students will be asked to, Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths (CCSS). Students should be exposed to this topic in order to lay the foundation for future life and math skills. In one lesson, I integrate the language arts curriculum-- in which students are asked to integrate their writing skills into math. Unit Objective: Students identify and apply knowledge of the important multiplication steps in order to solve multi-digit, decimals problems that are applicable to the real world. Unit Goals: Identify that pattern when multiplying numbers by 10, 100, 1000. Identify the area model of multiplication Solve multi-digit multiplication problems using the traditional method Explain the steps of solving multiplication with decimals. Apply knowledge of multiplication of decimals to solve real world problems regarding to money. Overview: Fifth grade Common Core State Standards: CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.A.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
3 CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.A.2 Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10. CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.B.5 Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.B.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Content Outline: Day One: The student will understand the shift in places and zero pattern that results when you multiply the a number by 10, 100, or 1,000 CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.A.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left. CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.A.2 Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10. Day Two: The student will use the area model of multiplication to solve double digit multiplication patterns. There is no standard for this lesson, however I felt that it was important because it exposes students to a more visual method for solving multiplication problems. In addition, it reviews some of the place value properties from earlier in the year. Day Three: The student will solve two digit multiplication problems fluently using various methods. CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.B.5 Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. Day Four: The student will solve 2x3 and 3x3 digit multiplication problems. CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.B.5 Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. Day Five: The student will apply knowledge of multiplication in order to multiply a whole number by a decimal.

CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.B.5 Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. Day Nine: Review day Day Ten: Brief review of material, and then students will take a summative assessment on the entire unit. Meeting Diverse Needs: Learning Styles: Visual: Throughout the unit, I will incorporate a large amount of visual aids. These will range from you tube clips, to writing information on the board.
5 In addition, students will be shown a model for multiplying that is very visual based. Auditory: Throughout the unit I incorporate whole group discussion, as well as opportunities for students to work in groups and discuss their thought process. Students will also be asked to repeat the directions back to the teacher after they are given. Read / Write: Throughout the unit, a variety of different worksheets are available to students. In addition, students will often times be asked to explain their thinking in words, in order to better describe their thought process. Kinesthetic: Throughout the unit, students will be moving around the room for different activities. Students will also be encouraged to come up to the board to solve problems, in addition to an activity in which students move a decimal through standing up. Gifted: Students who have proved that they have mastered a skill, will be given the chance to go on Khan Academy or Ten Marks Math -- an online resource which explains sixth grade math concepts. Learning Disabled: In order to accommodate these students, we will focus more attention on certain topics. In addition, an RTI time at the end of each math session will be given, if time. This time will enable the teacher to provide additional support to these students and walk them through more problems. In addition, students will be asked to repeat the directions back to the teacher so that all the students will hear the directions twice. ADHD: Throughout the unit, students will never be sitting in the same desk for the entire period. Students will be asked to move around the classroom -- by means of group work, partner work, or in-class activities. In addition at the beginning of the lesson, the general outline of the lesson will be given by the teacher to all students, in order to inform them of what is occurring. Behavior Management: These students have been following the same behavior management system since the beginning of the school year. At the beginning of each lesson, students will be called to attention by the teacher giving the time out symbol. Also students are broken into teams that compete for the blue chairs If teams are prepared and ready, they may earn a point. If an individual
student s behavior is causing problems, they will be asked to sign the PRIDE book. At the end of the month, if they have signed four times, they are unable to attend the PRIDE Party on Friday afternoon. 6
