Essential questions:
*Why do humans seek patterns and relationships?
*How is the relationship between multiplication and division relevant to the real world?
*Where do we see relationships in the natural world?
*How is the relationship between multiplication and division relevant to the real world?
*Where do we see relationships in the natural world?
facets of understanding:
Explanation-->Students will be able to demonstrate how to multiply multi-digit numbers in three
different ways (algorithm, partial products, matrix)
Interpretation-->Students will be able to predict the effect of the death of a particular species on an
ecosystem.
Application-->Students will use their knowledge of multi-digit multiplication to design the floorplan of their
new house and determine the amount of paint and flooring needed.
Perspective-->Students will determine the strengths and weaknesses of each method of multiplying and dividing multi-digit numbers.
Empathy-->Students will role play the part of a plant or animal within a particular ecosystem.
Self-Knowledge-->Students will reflect and write (blog) about how they approach mathematical challenges in the real world.
