Bulgar ELD 375 March 28, 2013 Individual Lesson Plan Math Bingo Rationale To have students review multiplication and division facts 0-12 to reinforce learning. It is important for students to know 0-12 multiplication and division facts before moving on to multiplication and division of larger numbers. CCSS.MathContent.3.OA.C.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 5 = 40, one knows 40 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers. Objective Students will be able to apply prior knowledge of multiplication and division facts of 0-12 in order to score Bingo on the Bingo card. Lesson Progression Grade: 3 1. Students will be instructed to clear off their desks. 2. Teacher will explain to students that since it is getting towards the end of the year and before beginning a new chapter, it is important to know these multiplication and division facts. The review game, Math Bingo, will provide students with a review of multiplication and division facts 0-12.
3. Ask if students have ever played the game Bingo before. Explain how the game that will be played today is very similar to the game Bingo. 4. Bingo cards and Bingo chips both made out of construction paper will be passed out to students. There will be 25 boxes on each Bingo card (5 by 5). Each student will get one Math Bingo card and 25 Math Bingo chips. 5. Teacher will give instructions as to how to fill out the Bingo card. Teacher will name to the class out loud different multiplication products and division quotients. As teacher names the products and quotients to the class, each student will fill in the numbers into a random box on the Bingo card. Each student will fill in numbers on their Bingo card into different boxes. 6. Directions of the game will be given to students: - The teacher will either call out two factors (ex: 3 x 6) or one dividend with one divisor (ex: 63 7) to the class. - Teacher will explain to students that they are to find the answer (product or quotient) to either the multiplication or division problem on their bingo card by placing a chip on top of the number on the card. (Example: For 3 x 6, students should place a Bingo chip over the box that says 16). Provide students with this given example. - Explain to students that in order to win Math Bingo they must have one row filled with 5 chips. - After explaining the directions of the game to the students, have the class decide as a whole which type of row they want to call Bingo. (Example: A winning Bingo board can either have chips in a horizontal row, a vertical row, a diagonal row, or a
L shaped row). Students can change the types of row after there is a winner for each round of Bingo. - Teacher will then explain that once a student realizes that they scored Bingo, they must say Math Bingo aloud to the class to indicate that there is a winner. Once student calls Math Bingo aloud, teacher will review the Bingo card with the student to make sure that the correct factors and quotients were covered by a Bingo chip. If the student did not fill out the correct the Math Bingo Card correctly, then teacher will not grant student the winner. The teacher will ask student what the correct answer is by reviewing the two factors or one dividend with one divisor with the student. - Explain to students that depending on the time, about 2 3 rounds of Math Bingo will be played. After each round is complete, student will clear off their chips from their Math Bingo card and switch Math Bingo cards with another student sitting at their table. 7. Once whole class decides which row they will consider a winning row, begin playing Math Bingo. Other considerations Students will need one Math Bingo card and 25 Math Bingo chips. The teacher will make sure that the students desks are cleared and inform students that while switching Math Bingo cards with a member it is to be done in a polite manner that does not cause any distraction to the class. Teacher will answer any questions or any misunderstandings that students may have before starting the game. While directions are being given to students, teacher will ask students to recall what factors, products, dividends, divisors, and quotients are.
I found this lesson on www.theteachersguide.com. I adjusted some parts of the lesson. The original lesson asked the students to cut and fold the Math Bingo chart, but I thought that would take too much time so I will distribute the Math Bingo Card to the students already cut out with the appropriate number of boxes. Also, in contrast to the original lesson plan, I am asking the students a few review questions about multiplication and division. I am also having the students switch Math Bingo cards after each round is over. I thought that the changes I made to the lesson provided more review for the students and allows me to check for student understanding. Differentiation Struggling learners can make figure diagrams that represent a multiplication problem on scrap paper. Struggling learners can also use scrap paper to figure out a division problem by using long division. Assessment Students will be assessed on the questions the teacher asks while giving the class directions of the game. (What are factors? What are products? What are dividends? What are divisors? What are quotients?) Students will be assessed on finding multiplication products and division quotients on Math Bingo card. Students can also be assessed when teacher conferences with students to see if they got the correct answers. Struggling learners can be assessed by the teacher conferencing with them and discussing their work that they did on scrap paper.
