Although we did not complete the two units we ambitiously planned to today, Dale and I did manage to crank out several good multiplication and division lessons. Please visit our NSN Lesson Plans page, and scroll down to "Multiplication and Division" to access this work.
You will notice that we have now included lesson goals and success criteria with each lesson. Although we are still struggling philosophically with integrating this well-researched effective practice with the seemingly counter-explicit constructivist approach, we decided to include these two new features with our latest batch of lessons. They are currently hidden, and set to fade in upon clicking, after the "Minds On", or warm-up, is complete, and before the lesson problem is revealed.
Enjoy!
