Intentionality & Unit Overview
Length of Unit: 5 Days

Students will explore the relationship between multiplication and division through an array model and volume model.
Intentionality…
In this task, students will determine the number of layers of donuts when given the quantity per layer and the total number of donuts in the entire box. This task can be accessed through multiplication and/or division. Students will be encouraged to continue using models as a tool to determine the missing factor and to represent their thinking. Some big ideas that might be explored in today’s task include:
- Numbers can be composed and decomposed.
- The relationship between rows and columns in an array.
- Quotative division can be accessed through skip counting, repeated addition, multiplication and/or repeated subtraction.
- Multiplication and division are related.
Math Talk
Revisit the context from Day One, the box of donuts with dimensions of 25 donuts by 32 donuts. Use the same context to work through the following string. Encourage students to use a concrete, grid or open array in order to represent the different boxes of donuts below and to determine the total number of donuts in each box. In today’s math talk, you are hoping that students will use efficient strategies shared in yesterday’s consolidation, including partial products and doubling and halving. The first three are designed to encourage doubling and halving while the next three support the use of partial products.
50 donuts by 12 donuts
25 donuts by 20 donuts
25 donuts by 24 donuts
16 donuts by 28 donuts
14 donuts by 31 donuts
22 donuts by 27 donuts

Crafting A Productive Struggle: Prompt
Yesterday, we saw the top view of a giant box of donuts. But all that could be seen from that image was the top layer.
Show students the image below:
Today, challenge students to determine how many layers of donuts there must be in the entire box based on what they have done so far. Students already know that one layer is 800, so now they must determine how many layers there are.
