Multiply a whole number of up to
four digits by a one-digit whole
number, and multiply two two-
digit numbers, using strategies
based on place value and the
properties of operations. Illustrate
and explain the calculation by
using equations, rectangular
arrays, and/or area models.
2. Relevance/ Rationale:
a) The outcomes of this lesson are important because the child will learn and understand the
real meaning of a number.
b) These outcomes are essential for future learning because students will be able to build on
values as we go from 1 digit, two digit, and eventually 3 and 4 digit numbers.
c) Level of conceptual understanding of rigor is important because the students will be able
to understand what a certain number actually means
d) Conceptual understanding will be developed through open lesson and discussion students
will be encouraged to ask questions and work with their peers for more in depth work.
e) Students will interact with the mathematics by encourage a hands on approach. As a class
we will do a math talk in the beginning of each lesson as well.

Students who understand will be paired up with students who are struggling. This ensures
diversity, inclusion and allows students to work together. If the student continues to struggle they
will work with the teacher 1-1 for a few minutes before class ends. Students who understand this
lesson quickly can work on additional worksheets to continue practicing to ensure they really
understand the information.
9. Reflection
We will observe and assess the student’s performance on the task by collecting their worksheets
and reviewing them. We will take notes and make point of areas of need for specific children or
the class as a whole. Students were engaged by having open discussion and working with their
neighbors once the worksheet is independently completed. After reviewing the answers and work
on the worksheet we will decide if we need to reteach or just work on the 2 by 2 digit
multiplication more. If we need to reteach we will edit the lesson and give students more
independent worksheets to see progress.
