CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT. B.5
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.
4. Materials and Technology Resources: Graphic organizer, dice, and worksheet of word
problems.
5. Instructional Procedures:
TW model how to do each of the dice rolls and what the outcome should look like. TW release

quiz with homework to match the words.
d. Extension: TW reiterate the importance of students and teachers themselves being able to
explain their thinking.
Students will have teachers anchor chart, sentence stem for each roll dice, multiplication
chart, grid paper to align numbers when using the standard algorithm and partial products.
b. Summative After the end of the week they will have a speaking and listening grade on
how well they are able to explain their thinking.
8. Homework Assignment: Solve a word problem and explain their thinking by answering all
five questions.
9. Reflection:
a. Strengths: Students are able to tell each other how they know if the answer is correct
and acknowledging what information is important
b. Concerns: Students are having difficulty solving it in a different way and creating a
similar problem.
c. Insights: This activity has highlighted why students accountable talk was so
imperative to creating productive student to student discourse. However, to make it more
meaningful and guided, this dice game has allowed them ask/answer different questions. Some
of which they have not been exposed to.
