Operation and Algebraic Thinking Lesson Plan
Part 1: Operation and Algebraic Thinking Lesson Plan
Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” design a lesson for the 1-5 grade level of your choice and a corresponding Arizona or other state math standard within the Operation and Algebraic Thinking domain.
Locate four lesson plans that focus on your chosen grade level and math standard from four different websites to review.
Using the lesson plans as resources, design a new operation and algebraic thinking lesson plan that encourages critical thinking. The lesson plan must include differentiated strategies for students who struggle with perception and attention as well as differentiation strategies for students who struggle with memory and retrieval.
Part 2: Instructional Strategies Rationale
In 250-500 words, reflect upon your instructional choices and rationalize the appropriateness of each strategy related to the specified student needs and learning target. Describe how each strategy encourages critical thinking specific to your lesson.
Support your choices with this topic's readings and a minimum of two scholarly resources. In addition, cite the websites you used as references to develop your lesson plan.

Instructional Plan Title: Understanding Multiplication through Arrays
I. PLANNING
Lesson summary and focus:
In this lesson, students will learn about multiplication and how it relates to arrays. They will use manipulatives and visual aids to understand the concept of multiplication as repeated addition, and they will practice solving multiplication problems using arrays.
?
Classroom and student factors:
One student in the class has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for attention difficulties.
?
National / State
Learning Standards:
Arizona Mathematics Standard 3.OA.1 - Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.

Specific learning target(s) / objectives:
Teacher notes:
Students will be able to identify an array and explain how it relates to multiplication.
Students will be able to solve multiplication problems using arrays.
Students will be able to explain how multiplication is related to repeated addition.

Agenda:
Formative assessment:
Introduction and connection to prior knowledge (10 min)
Mini-lesson on arrays and multiplication (15 min)
Guided practice with manipulatives (20 min)
Independent practice (15 min)
