Lesson 12

Resolvamos problemas en los que hay multiplicaciones

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to solve contextual problems that involve multiplication of a single-digit number and a whole number of up to four digits, or multiplication of 2 two-digit numbers.

Lesson Narrative

This lesson gives students the opportunity to apply the multiplication strategies they have learned to solve various contextual problems involving measurement. The problems vary in format and complexity—some involve a single computation and others require multiple steps to solve. The work here prompts students to make sense of problems and persevere in solving them (MP1) and to reason quantitatively and abstractly (MP2).
