Authors: Heather Yarborough and Emily Nielsen Title: Multiplication Bingo Grade: 5 Integrated Disciplines: Math NE Standards: 4.2.1 By the end of fourth grade, students will estimate, add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers without and with calculators and solve word problems. Objectives:
Assessment: Students will have to call out the problems and answer after they yell bingo. Both must be correct to get the space. Bingo sheets will be collected to be checked for accuracy. Provision for Special Needs: Teacher will give extra help for those who ask for it. Materials:
Vocabulary:
Procedures: Anticipatory Set: Have multiplication problems on the board when students come in. Let them ask questions about what they are for. Tell them you are going to play a game, but first they have to pick which problems to fill in on their bingo cards. Let them know there are more problems then spaces so they choose which ones they want and which ones they don’t. Activities: There are 25 spaces on a bingo card. There should be at least 30 or more problems written on the board. Do not have answers written. Give each student a bingo card and a pencil. Explain that they are going to choose which problems to put on the card, but they have to work out the answer on their own. Once they call bingo they have to be able to provide the problem and the answer in order for each space to count. While they are filling out the cards give assistance when asked and let students help each other out. Once everyone is done play bingo. The teacher will have all the problems with answers written on slips which become the draw pile. Pull out the slip and give the problem. Let students have a couple minutes to find it then go on to the next one. When someone calls out bingo they have to read back all the ones they got, but say problem and answer. If something is wrong the space doesn’t count. (Bingo is five in a row either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.) For a longer version you can do a black out which means the entire card has to be covered. Closure: Have an open discussion on why it is important to review facts like multiplication. Ask if a game like this is a better way to do it then just sitting and doing a worksheet or timed session. See if anyone can come up with either other games for review or other ways to use bingo. Reflection: Multiplication is a standard met by fourth grade. Because some of the students struggled with fractions we thought a review would be great to help boost their confidence and strengthen something they have already learned. We feel this was a great lesson because we learned that some of the students didn’t have their multiplication down especially when they were using larger numbers like 15*15. We were surprised by how much help was needed and we are really glad we did this lesson. It also taught us that as teachers we need to review past lessons to help students keep what they learned in their memory.
