Introduction
& Time
Introducti Teacher will: Students will:
on
Teacher will introduce the
5-10 lesson by saying: Today we will
learn how to multiply three
factors
Teacher will use the example
that in the book and show it to
the student.
1- Teacher will use
counters to model
(Draw and label the
models)
(2 x 3) x 3 2 groups of 3,
three times
2- Multiply the factors
inside the parentheses
first. (2 x 3)
3- Multiply the product by
the remaining factor.
So, (2 x 3) x 3 = 18
Then the teacher will use
another example to let the
students help the teacher:
Tr: Know find 2 x (3 x 3)
Tr: Do you remember what
was the first step?
St: (Draw and label the
models)
Tr: Okay, so we will draw how
many groups?
St: 3 groups of 3
Tr: times how many?
St: two times
Tr: and second step?
Shamma St: multiply the
factors in the parentheses first
Tr: Good job Shamma you
deserve 1 point
Tr: and last what is the third
step?
St: multiply the product with
the remaining factor
Tr: so, 2 x (3 x 3) is?
Nouf St: 18
Tr: Excellent nouf you will earn
1 point

Main activities
& Time
Teacher will: Students will:
Low group (shape and solve)
Teacher will give the students
a manipulative and shapes
with equation and they have to
model and solve the problem.
For example,
Tr: I want you to find
(3 x 3) x 2
If students finishes early,
teacher will ask them to open
page (509) and solve
questions from 4-12
Teacher will monitor the
students using checklist to
check for comprehension.
Middle group (Draw and Model)
student will have an equation
and draw and model it
(2 x 2) x 3 = 12
If students finishes early,
teacher will ask them to open
page (509) and solve
questions from 13-14.
Teacher will monitor the
students using checklist to
check for comprehension.
High group (Flash Cards)
Students in this group will
have challenging equations
and I will state a timer for 15
minutes and watch them who
finishes more cards will have 2
points at the end.
For example,
If students finishes early,
teacher will ask them to open
page (509) and solve
questions from 13-18
Teacher will monitor the
students using checklist to
check for comprehension.
Differentiation activities (Support)
Teacher will provide low and middle group Manipulatives to present
the equation.
Differentiation activities (Stretch)
Students in low group will just multiply three factors, using
manipulatives.
Student in middle group will multiply three factors using pictures of
drawing the equation.
Students in high group will multiply three factors.
Resources Plenary/Conclusion
& Time
Teacher will recap with Students will
students what they took:
Tr: As we said we will use the 3
steps to find the product
1- Teacher will use
counters to model
(Draw and label the
models)
(2 x 2) x 4 2 groups of 3,
three times
2- Multiply the factors
inside the parentheses
first. (2 x 3)
3- Multiply the product by
the remaining factor.
So, (2 x 2) x 4 = 16
Thumbs up for
understanding, Thumbs
down if student didn’t
understand, and thumbs
in middle if students
need more explanation.
So today we learned how to
multiply three factors.
(Puzzle game)
Teacher will give student
puzzle game and they have to
complete the puzzle, this
puzzle will show an array and
an equation that students has
to answer.
Teacher will give each group a
puzzle
student will take peace of it to
solve until they finish the
puzzle.
For example,
Tr: who knows what we will
start with?
St: take the parenthesis out
Tr: Then?
St: multiply two numbers
Tr: Keep going good job
