Lesson 4

Making Teams

Est. Class Sessions: 1

Summarizing the Lesson

After students have finished investigating all team sizes, ask them to look at their data tables.

  • How are the number of teams and team size related? Compare the team size when the number of teams is small. Compare the team size when the number of teams is large. (The team size gets larger as the number of teams gets smaller. For example, look at the table for a class with 28 students. If we make 28 teams, then the team size is only 1. But if we make only 2 teams, then the team size is 10.)

Assign the Groupings and Number Sentences Assessment Master.

Use the Groupings and Number Sentences Assessment Master to assess student progress with completing open number sentences [E1], representing division problems [E2], and multiplying and dividing using mental math strategies [E3].

The Lesson 6 Workshop provides targeted practice.
