Lesson 15

Equal Groups, Larger Numbers

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to multiply within 100, where one factor is a teen number.   

Lesson Narrative

The work of this lesson connects to previous work because students have seen a variety of ways to represent and solve problems in which one of the factors is a teen number. In this lesson students use their choice of strategy and representation to solve these types of problems. Students participate in a gallery walk to highlight different ways that they solved problems with a synthesis that highlights the area diagram to represent one of the problems. Students’ attention is drawn to scaling of area diagrams during the warm-up. While it’s not important that student representations are exact, it is important that any area diagrams presented to students are to scale.
