Intro Slideshow
3rd Grade Math, Area
Overview
Related to standard AR.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7., this is a multisection lesson for the 3rd grade unit of study on area in relation to multiplication, complete with teacher notes.This lesson is designed to be taught with an 'I Do, We Do, You Do' format. Starting with an introduction slideshow, students will connect multiplication with previous concepts and skills such as repeated addition, skip counting, and equal groups. Then they will see a video and example problems which can be completed together as a class. Allow time for students to read and complete some of these example problems with a partner which will give time for questioning, addressing misunderstandings, and informal interventions. End the lesson with a preview of the next day's independent activity and an exit ticket using a quick image.
Teacher Instructions and Student Objective

Teacher Instructions:
This lesson is designed to be taught with an 'I Do, We Do, You Do' format. Starting with an introduction slideshow, students will connect multiplication with previous concepts and skills such as repeated addition, skip counting, and equal groups. Then they will see a video and example problems which can be completed together as a class. Allow time for students to read and complete some of these example problems with a partner which will give time for questioning, addressing misunderstandings, and informal interventions. End the lesson with a preview of the next day's independent activity and an exit ticket using a quick image.
Student Objectves:
-Students will relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition (AR.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7).
-Students will recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-
overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.
-Students will find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it and show that the area is
the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths.

Video Resource
*For an engagement oppurtunity, give students the task of coming up with hand motions for terms like column, row, area, and multiply. Refer to these motions during future lessons for added retention of vocabulary.
View with students and give them a chance to get up and move while doing *hand motions.
Read and Try
*Teacher needs to be walking around the room listening in on partner collaborations in hopes of addressing any misunderstanding or utilizing this as an informal intervention time.
Choose the Read content labeled Area of Squares and Rectangles. Read through the first problem and solve it together with the class. Then partner up the students and see if they can solve some together as a pair. Remind them to ask questions or refer to the videos at the bottom of the page if they do not understand.

Sneak Peek!
*DO NOT go into much detail. Just give them a quick visual and peek their interest.
Preview tomorrow's independent activity.

Exit Ticket Assessment
*When student turn these in (with their name) sort them into three piles(Got it, Close, or Didn't Get it) to help guide the lesson for the following day and plan interventions if necessary.
Print off this quick assessment as an exit ticket for students to solve OR show the image and read the prompt aloud then give the students a short time to solve it on a sticky note.
