Lesson 8

Workshop: Finding Multiples

Est. Class Sessions: 1–2

Before the Lesson

Review student work from previous lessons to guide instruction decisions about the following Expectation:

E2.
Identify and find multiples of numbers.

Students will identify their level of confidence with a particular concept and choose problems from a Workshop Menu. See the TIMS Tip for more about Workshop Menus.

A Workshop Menu is a flexible way to find the practice and support students need. Guide them by individualizing the menu or simply monitoring students' choices once they start working. Use the confidence levels flexibly. Students might be confident with one concept and not another. If students find a particular group of problems are too easy or too difficult, they can simply choose a different set of problems or tasks.

Use your own evaluation of students' progress using work from previous lessons to help guide their choices.

Plan to organize the class into partners, small groups, or stations based on the problems chosen from the menus. Students may work with different groups or partners as the Workshop progresses.
