2. Lesson Essential Question: What is the product of two whole numbers?

3. Standard:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.1
Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects
in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number
of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.

4.
A. Learning Objectives: Students will be able to determine the product of two
whole numbers.

B. Assessments: The teacher monitoring the game will ensure that the students
give the correct answer to the problem.
Learning Objectives Assessments

Students will be able to determine The teacher monitoring the game will ensure that
the product of two whole numbers. the students give the correct answer to the
problem.

5. Materials:
-Teacher: Popsicle sticks with math facts, container for popsicle sticks
-Students: None

6. Pre-lesson assignments and/or prior knowledge: Students will know basic

multiplication facts and how to multiply whole numbers.

7. Lesson Beginning: The teacher will explain the game to the students.

8. Instructional Plan: Time needed approximately 10-15 minutes

The students and teacher will be playing a math game in small groups. The teacher will
model the game before the students play. The teacher will be the first to play the game
and then they will move in a clockwise direction.
Game Directions: Popsicle sticks with math facts written on one end are placed in a
container with the math fact side completely in the container. The first student takes out
a popsicle stick and reads the fact (ex. 3X4). After reading the fact the student says the
product out loud. If the product is correct, they keep the popsicle stick. If the product is
incorrect, they put the popsicle stick back in the container. The teacher will determine if
the product is correct or incorrect. A few popsicle sticks say KABOOM. If a student picks
up this popsicle stick, all of the players have to put their popsicle sticks back in the
container. The goal of the game is to collect the most popsicle sticks. This game can be
played for as long as needed.

a. Differentiation: The teacher can help students struggling with their math facts by
reminding them of strategies they learned earlier.

b. Questions: None.

c. Classroom Management: The teacher will monitor the game.

d. Transitions: The teacher will put the students into groups and seat them at a
table.

9. Closure: None.
