Before starting the activity, the teacher will show the title slide. The teacher will ask students, "What are you wondering? What do you think this problem is about?"
The teacher will continue to go through the remaining slides. The teacher will need to make sure the students have their student notebooks for recording information. Slide 3 asks students to draw an array. You may ask your struggling students to build it with color tiles first.
The teacher will allow students to share their equations and answers to the questions on each slide. (This should spark a class discussion on the relationship between multiplication and division.)
Assessment Strategies:
The teacher will assess the students as they share their equations and answers to check for understanding.
Advanced Preparation:
Students will need a student notebook or something to write on for recording.
Color tiles will need to be provided to struggling students. They may build the array before they draw it.
The teacher should preview the Music Concert task and provide a way to display the task.
