MTB Unit 3

Fourth grade students are learning about multiplication.  All students took a pre-test and were sorted into groups.  Each classroom teacher is teaching a group using differentiated instruction to meet the group’s needs.  The groups will go through the lessons in our math books and cover the KS State standards: Students will use place value & properties of multiplication to solve multi-digit problems.

·        represent & solve multiplication problems using rectangular arrays (area model).

·        identify prime & composite numbers (from 1-100).

·        identify square numbers (1-100).

·        use properties of multiplication to solve 4-digit by 1-digit & 2-digit by 2-digit problems.

·        use strategies for multiplication to solve 4-digit by 1-digit & 2-digit by 2-digit problems.

·        use a number line to represent multiples of a number (1-100).

·        find all factor pairs for a number (1-100).

·        decide if one number (1-100) is a multiple of another number (0-9).

·        apply the order of operations to solve problems.
