Lesson Plan: Unit 1 - enVision Topic 1: Understand Multiplication and Division of Whole Numbers

Grade Level: 3

Duration: 30 minutes

Subject: Mathematics

---

Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Understand the concepts of multiplication and division.
2. Use hands-on equations to represent multiplication and division problems.
3. Solve basic multiplication and division equations using concrete materials.

---

Materials Needed

• Manipulative tools (e.g., counting blocks, Unifix cubes)
• Whiteboard and markers
• Worksheets for practice
• Homework assignment sheets

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Begin with a brief discussion about what multiplication and division are.
• Ask students if they can give examples of where they see multiplication and division in their lives (e.g., sharing candies, counting groups of objects).

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

• Multiplication as Groups of: Explain that multiplication is about groups of things. For example, 3 x 2 means 3 groups of 2.
• Division as Sharing: Illustrate division as equally sharing. For instance, 6 ÷ 2 means sharing 6 items equally among 2 people.
• Write a few sample equations on the whiteboard and have students represent them using manipulatives.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

• Use hands-on equations to solve the following problems:
  1. 4 x 2 = ?
  2. 12 ÷ 3 = ?
• Students will use blocks to physically group and share the items to find answers.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

• Distribute worksheets with multiplication and division problems for students to solve independently. Ensure they can visualize the problems with manipulatives if needed.

Homework Assignment

Instructions

Complete the following problems at home, using manipulatives if necessary.

1. Multiplication Problems

   • 5 x 3 = ?
   • 7 x 2 = ?
   • 6 x 4 = ?

2. Division Problems

   • 15 ÷ 3 = ?
   • 20 ÷ 5 = ?
   • 18 ÷ 2 = ?

Answer Key

1. Multiplication Answers

   • 5 x 3 = 15
   • 7 x 2 = 14
   • 6 x 4 = 24

2. Division Answers

   • 15 ÷ 3 = 5
   • 20 ÷ 5 = 4
   • 18 ÷ 2 = 9

Conclusion (Optional)

• Recap what was learned during the lesson: how multiplication represents groups and division involves sharing.
• Encourage students to practice using manipulatives at home to reinforce understanding.
• Remind them to bring their homework back for review in the next class.
