MULTIPLIC ATION AND DIVISION
Contributor: Montavious (Ortez) Thomas Sample NearPod Lesson In this unit, third grade students will learn how to uently use multiplication and division in real world situations, related to grouping and separation of objects. Students may not understand the relationship between addition and multiplication, and subtraction and division. The students will have learning experiences through hands-on group activities, virtual guided lessons, and class conversions between multiplication and division. This unit’s activities will help guide students with uent progression using multiplication and division with everyday objects. Multiplication and division are used on a daily basis, in which conversion and estimation are needed readily available. Once students recognize how to uently use multiplication and division, they will be able to convert data, rapidly estimate numerical data, gather and separate numerical data, and complete the uent foundation of the basis for their future in mathematics. Representing and solving problems involving multiplication and division are learning expectations outlined in Common Core Mathematics: Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Standards 1, 2, and 3. 1- Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. 2- Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56
