and division.
Standard CC.2.2.3.A.2: Understand properties of multiplication.
Standard CC.2.2.3.A.3: Demonstrate multiplication and division fluency.
2. Prerequisites: State what students should know prior to this lesson.

Students should be able to solve problems including addition and subtraction.
Students should be able to use mental strategies to add and subtract numbers.
Students should be able to use equal groups and arrays to solve multiplication problems.
3. Essential Questions:
How can we use helper facts to solve multiplication problems?
How do we add a group to an existing multiplication problem?
How do we subtract a group from an existing multiplication problem?
How can we write number models to explain our thinking?
4. Materials and Equipment:

Smart board
Everyday math journals
Pencils
Colored pencils
Whiteboards/markers
Exit Activity
5. Instructional Objective:
Students will practice basic multiplication problems while using arrays and
equal groups.
Students will understand how to implement helper facts to solve
multiplication following demonstration by the teacher and completing
workbook pages in Everyday math journals.
Students will be able to explain how they used helper facts to solve the
problem after completing number models.
6. Instructional Procedures: List instructional strategies and learning

experiences that are in alignment with the objective(s). Include information
about what teaching strategies you will use to engage students. Include
information about what type of technology, manipulatives, etc. you will use
to facilitate students meeting the objectives.
 Before: Anticipatory set, minilesson :
 Students will be instructed to take out a whiteboard and eraser, as the
teacher will display warm up basic multiplication problems onto the
smart board.
 Students will be encouraged to use arrays and to look at equal groups
while solving the basic multiplication problems.
 The teacher will display the problem “9 x 6” onto the smart board and
will ask students if they know different ways to solve this problem.
 The teacher will demonstrate two different kinds of helper facts to solve
the multiplication problem presented.
 During: Group work, independent practice.
 Students will get their turn to practice helper facts while completing
pages in their everyday math journals.
 Students will complete a page in their math journals regarding their
knowledge of different multiplication facts and how to solve for them.
This will be helpful for them in future multiplication lessons as they can
refer back to this page to reflect on facts and how to solve for them. This
will help students identify their helper facts.
 Students will then turn to a new math page that presents them with their
0-10 fact families. Using their colored pencils, they will shade in 2, 5, and
10 as helper facts and then lightly shade in the surrounding numbers. For
example students will lightly shade the row of 3 with the same color as 2
indicating that they can use 2 as a helper fact with any 3-fact families.
 The next workbook page asks students to use a helper fact to solve the
problem and how they can use the helper fact.
 The teacher will go over the first problem with the class and then the
class will be instructed to try the rest of the problems on their own as the
teacher walks around the classroom for support.
 Students will turn to the next page to find a worksheet involving number
models.
 The teacher will work with the class to use number models to solve word
problems involving multiplication.
 After: Closure, assessment:
 Students will be given an exit activity regarding helper facts to complete.
Once completed, they will hand their work into the teacher.
 The teacher will go over the night’s homework that is to be completed the
next day.
 To end the lesson, students will work independently on their math boxes,
which is a review from the material they have learned previously in the
school year. Students must show teacher their work when completed.
7. Assessment: Tell how you will know if all students have met the instructional
objective. What tool(s) will you use to measure if all students can meet the
objective?
 I will assess students by having them an exit ticket activity, which will
determine if students need more practice using helper facts. The exit
ticket will be graded on completeness and how students modeled their
work. Students will also be assessed on their homework, which will be
turned in the next day. The work should be complete and accurate. If
there are many areas of incompleteness or incorrectness, I will review
this material further with students.
8. Differentiated Instruction: Tell how you will meet the needs of all learners
during the lesson. This has to be in alignment with the objective. Look back at
the objective and think about how you can support the learners in this
lesson. Will you differentiate content, process, and/or product? Will you
make it more challenging or do you have students that need support in
meeting the objectives
 Students who may need extra support during this lesson will be encouraged to
use their fact triangles to match helper facts with facts they may not know.
 Students who may need extra support will also work closely with the teacher
at the back table while the rest of the class is completing independent
workbook pages.
 Students who need more of a challenge will be asked to come up with
multiple different ways to solve a multiplication problem. They will be given
a challenging problem to work on and they will be asked to explain three or
more ways that they can use their helper facts to solve the problem.
