1ST & 2nd Nine Weeks Theme: Module 3 (A, B, C, D) Topic:Multiply Whole Numbers

Established Goals and Student Outcomes
  • Students can multiply a whole number up to four digits by a one-digit number and a two-digit number by a two-digit number.
  • Students can use multiplicative comparisons to solve multiplication problems.
  • Students can solve multi-step contextual problems.

Key Knowledge / Key Skills/Fluency Standards
Students will know…….
  • multiplication as repeated addition
  • division as repeated subtraction
  • key Math vocabulary
/ Students will be able to use place value understanding and visual representations to solve multiplication problems with multi-digit numbers.
Domain and Cluster
Number and Operations in Base Ten (NBT)
B. Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking (OA)
A. Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.
Measurement and Data (MD)
A. Estimate and solve problems involving measurement.
Content Standards / Essential Questions
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.OA.A.2 Multiply or divide to solve contextual problems involving multiplicative comparison, and distinguish multiplicative comparison from additive comparison. For example, school A has 300 students and school B has 600 students: to say that school B has two times as many students is an example of multiplicative comparison; to say that school B has 300 more students is an example of additive comparison.
4.OA.A.3 Solve multi-step contextual problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
4.MD.A.3 Know and apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in realworld and mathematical problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor. /
