NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM Lesson 2 3 3

Lesson 2
Objective: Apply the distributive and commutative properties to relate
multiplication facts 5 n + n to 6 n and n 6 where n is the size of the
unit.

Suggested Lesson Structure

Fluency Practice (15 minutes)

Application Problem (5 minutes)

Concept Development (30 minutes)

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Total Time (60 minutes)

Fluency Practice (15 minutes)

Sprint: Use the Commutative Property to Multiply 3.OA.5 (9 minutes)

Group Counting 3.OA.1 (4 minutes)
Make Ten 3.OA.5 (2 minutes)

Sprint: Use the Commutative Property to Multiply (9 minutes)

Materials: (S) Use the Commutative Property to Multiply Sprint

Note: This Sprint reviews Lesson 1.

Group Counting (4 minutes)

Note: Group counting reviews interpreting multiplication as repeated addition. Counting by sixes, sevens,
eights, and nines in this activity anticipates multiplication using those units later in the module. Focusing on
the mentioned transitions bolsters student understanding of the distributive property of multiplication.

Direct students to count forward and backward, occasionally changing the direction of the count:
Sixes to 60, emphasizing the 30 to 36 transition
Sevens to 70, emphasizing the 35 to 42 transition
Eights to 80, emphasizing the 40 to 48 transition
Nines to 90, emphasizing the 45 to 54 transition

Lesson 2: Apply the distributive and commutative properties to relate

multiplication facts 5 n + n to 6 n and n 6 where n is the size 25
of the unit.

Make Ten (2 minutes)

Note: This fluency activity prepares students for the skip-counting strategies used to multiply units of 6 and 7
in Lessons 4 and 5.

T: (Write 9 + __ = 10.) Say the unknown addend.

S: 1.
Continue with the following suggested sequence: 1 + __ = 10, 5 + __ = 10, 8 + __ = 10, 2 + __ = 10,
6 + __ = 10, 7 + __ = 10, 4 + __ = 10, and 3 + __ = 10.

Application Problem (5 minutes)

Jocelyn says 7 fives has the same answer as 3 sevens + 2 sevens.

Is she correct? Explain why or why not.
Note: This problem reviews the commutative property from
Lesson 1 and also previews the first fact used in the Concept
Development to ensure all students automaticity with the answer.

Concept Development (30 minutes)

Materials: (S) Personal white board

T: (Draw 1 circle with a 7 inside.) This circle represents

1 unit of 7. As I draw circles, count the sevens with
me. (Draw circles one on top of the other until you NOTES ON
make one column of 5 circles.) MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
7 EXPRESSION:
7 7 This lesson moves from pictorial
representations in the vignette to
7 7 7 abstract in the examples suggested for
continued guided practice. Depending
7 7 7 7 on the needs of the class, start out
MP.7
7 concretely. Have students manipulate
7 7 7 7
cubes rather than draw or look at dots.
S: 1 seven, 2 sevens, 3 sevens, 4 sevens, 5 sevens. As they become comfortable with the
material, transition to pictorial circles,
T: Whisper the multiplication fact for 5 sevens. and, if appropriate, eventually to an
S: 5 7. abstract example.
T: Use commutativity to name a related fact.
S: 7 5.
T: What are 5 sevens, 5 7, and 7 5 all equal to?
S: 35.

Lesson 2: Apply the distributive and commutative properties to relate

multiplication facts 5 n + n to 6 n and n 6 where n is the size 26
of the unit.

T: Lets use our familiar fives facts to find facts we havent learned yet. (Draw a dot above the 7
first 5 dots in another color, shown right.) What is 5 sevens + 1 seven?
7
S: 6 sevens.
T: (Write 35 + 7.) Tell your partner how this expression shows the total of 6 sevens. 7
S: 35 is the total of 5 sevens, and 7 is the total of 1 seven. 35 + 7 shows 5 sevens + 1 seven 7
in number form. Its the break apart and distribute strategy we learned before! The dots 7
show 6 sevens broken into 5 sevens and 1 seven because we know those facts, and theyre
easy! 7
T: What is the total of 6 sevens?
S: 42.
MP.7 T: On your personal white board, use commutativity to NOTES ON
write the two multiplication facts we just solved.
MULTIPLE MEANS
S: (Write 6 7 and 7 6.) OF REPRESENTATION:
T: Compare 5 7 and 6 7. What is the difference Problem 1 of the Problem Set reviews
between them? 6 7 used in the vignette using blocks.
S: 6 7 has one more group of 7 than 5 7. Thats Although the blocks were not used in
what the teacher showed with the dots, 5 sevens and the lesson, it is familiar enough to feel
6 sevens. friendly for students and provides an
opportunity to discuss the difference in
T: By noticing that 6 7 is only 1 more group of 7 than models during the Debrief.
5 7, we used the total of 5 7 to help us make an
easy addition problem to find 6 7.
Continue with the following suggested sequence. Use the
model of the dots as necessary, changing the value of
1 dot to match the problem.
5 9 to find 6 9 and 9 6
5 6 to find 6 6

Problem Set (10 minutes)

Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by
specifying which problems they work on first. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. Students
should solve these problems using the RDW approach
used for Application Problems.

Lesson 2: Apply the distributive and commutative properties to relate

multiplication facts 5 n + n to 6 n and n 6 where n is the size 27
of the unit.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)

Lesson Objective: Apply the distributive and commutative

properties to relate multiplication facts 5 x n + n to 6 x n
and n x 6 where n is the size of the unit.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
Any combination of the questions below may be used to
lead the discussion.
What pattern did you notice between
Problems 1 and 2?
Explain to your partner how one fact can help you
solve two new facts.
Explain why you used multiplication or division to
solve Problem 4. How does a division sentence in
this problem relate to a multiplication sentence?
How does the strategy we learned today relate to
the break apart and distribute strategy we
studied in Module 1?
How might you use the strategy we practiced
today to solve other problems? For example,
how might you use 5 7 to help you solve 7 7?

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)

After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete
the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help with
assessing students understanding of the concepts that
were presented in todays lesson and planning more
effectively for future lessons. The questions may be read
aloud to the students.

Lesson 2: Apply the distributive and commutative properties to relate

multiplication facts 5 n + n to 6 n and n 6 where n is the size 28
of the unit.
