This lesson is based on three standards that the students must learn. I have created this lesson using a template given to me by my professor. This lesson allows the students to have a little independence from sitting in their seats and doing book work. I have four stations created where students go as a team and complete each station. The first station is the computer where students will use Math Blaster software. The second station is the students working on worksheets, which you may download for your own use. The third station is having the students test each other with flash cards on multiplication and division. And the final station is having the students come up with their own problems and having their classmate solve them.
Lesson Title: The Math We Use Everyday
Teacher: Meredith Tidd
Subject Area:Mathematics
Grade Level: Third
Date: March 28, 2007
Objectives
• CCSD CEF (3) 1.18 “Immediately recall and use addition and subtraction facts”
• CCSD CEF (3) 1.19 “Immediately recall and use multiplication facts, products to 100”
• CCSD CEF (3) 1.20 “Recall division facts through the 10s”

Needed Materials
• Computer with keyboard and mouse (5 for students to share, 1 for teacher)
• Math Blaster Software, Grade 3 (5 copies, 1 for each computer)
• Worksheet practicing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (1 for each student, 1 key for teacher)

• Flash cards for multiplication and division (1 set of both)
• White boards with dry erase markers and erasers (1 for each student)
Procedure
Sponge Activity
Ask students to write five multiplication questions that they can answer on a piece of scratch paper
Anticipatory Set
Ask students:
· Ask students what they know or remember about multiplication
Announce Outline/Objectives
Content Delivery
Teach from the book using the board to show step-by-step instructions for how to do the multiplication problems larger than products of 100. Have students use their white boards to solve the practice problems, and ask one student to come up to the board and show their answer and the steps they used to get that answer. Help students to understand multiplication by playing around the world, a game where they compete with each other to answer a math problem off a flash grade correctly and first. You play until there is only one student who has gotten no wrong answers. The students will play around the world and the winner will receive $50 in school play money.
Activity
Break students up into 4 groups of 5 students
· Station 1: Computers where students play Math Blaster for 10 minutes
· Station 2: Students fill out worksheets going over addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for 10 minutes
· Station 3: Students use flash cards for multiplication and division to quiz each other and see how fast they are able to recall information for 10 minutes
· Station 4: Students will use whiteboards to work out multiplication problems whose products are no more than 100, students will come up with their own problems, but the problem and answer must be approved and checked by the teacher for 10 minutes
Review
Ask students:
· Ask students to recall five problems from their times table starting with zero, each student will say the next five problems and answers until all the students have gone
Closure
· Review outline
· Review objectives
· Assessment
§ Have students switch their sponge activity papers around and answer the one they get, can not be their own
· “Teaser” for tomorrow’s lesson
§ How do we use multiplication everyday?
