Multiplicative Reasoning Of 5 Lesson Plan for 2nd Grade Students

Topic: Multiplicative reasoning of 5

Objectives & Outcomes

• By the end of this lesson, students will be able to understand and apply the concept of multiplicative reasoning of 5.

Materials

• 5 balls
• A large box or container
• A small box or container
• Pictures of different sizes

Warm-up

• Show the students the 5 balls and ask them to count how many there are. Have them share their answers and explain their reasoning.
• Show the students the large box and ask them to guess how many balls will fit inside. Have them share their answers and explain their reasoning.
• Show the students the small box and ask them to guess how many balls will fit inside. Have them share their answers and explain their reasoning.
• Ask the students if they noticed any patterns in the different box sizes and the number of balls that can fit inside.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of multiplication and explain that it is a way to describe how many times one number is multiplied by another number to get a third number.
• Show the students the 5 balls and the 3 boxes. Ask them to predict how many balls will fit inside the small box, and then multiply the number of balls by 3 to get the answer. Repeat for the large box.
• Repeat the process for other multiplication problems, such as 6 x 3, 7 x 4, and 8 x 5.

Guided Practice

• Give each student a worksheet with multiplication problems and have them work alone or with a partner to solve the problems using the boxes and balls.
• Go over the answers as a class, discussing how to solve each problem and why the answers make sense.

Independent Practice

• Give each student a set of multiplication problems on a separate sheet of paper and have them work alone to solve the problems using the boxes and balls.
• Encourage students to show their work and explain their reasoning as they solve each problem.
• Go over the answers as a class, discussing how to solve each problem and why the answers make sense.

Closure

• Ask students to share one thing they learned about multiplicative reasoning during the activity.
• Review the concept of multiplying by a number greater than 1 to make something bigger, and
• Ask students to share one example they can think of that makes sense to multiply by 5.

Assessment

• Observe students during class discussion and participation silently to assess their understanding of the concept.
• Collect and review their worksheets to assess their ability to apply their understanding to problems.
• Ask a few class volunteers to share their answers and observations during the closure activity.
