Class Experience

Multiply larger numbers using a method not typically taught in the traditional classroom. Students will continue to learn and practice multiplying 4-6 digit numbers using the Lattice Multiplication method. This class is intended to extend and give students that have already learned the basic lattice multiplication method further practice. 

Students will review what a lattice diagram is. Students will also review the steps used to multiply larger number numbers using a lattice diagram. Students will learn how to multiply numbers that have 4-6 digits using a lattice diagram.

Class will be structured so that the first 2 minutes students will introduce themselves. 
Then next 3-5 minutes will be used to review the steps used when using the lattice method. Students will discuss together and see what they recall of the process.
The following 5 minutes will be a teacher demonstration of how to do lattice multiplication when there are 4 digit numbers.
As a group, we will then continue to complete some examples together for the next 15 minutes. Students will be encouraged to ask for any clarifications. 
The next 10 minutes, students will be given problems to solve individually. Students will check their work the next 5 minutes. 
The final 3-5 minutes, students will be asked if they have any questions.

I believe that true learning happens when the learner is actively participating and engaged. Mistakes are encouraged in my classroom. I believe we learn more from mistakes because we become critical thinkers as we try to understand the process so that we understand why we made our mistake. I try to allow many opportunities for students to participate.

It is encouraged for students to have the multiplication table up to 12 memorized. It is also encouraged that the student have taken an introduction class to the lattice multiplication method.

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to use a lattice diagram to multiply 4-6 digit numbers.

Other Details

Supply List

Students will be provided with blank lattice diagrams to save time drawing the diagrams.

External Resources

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics from Fresno Pacific University

Hello! My name is Brenda. As a math teacher, I love math and enjoy helping students get a better understanding of different math topics. As a math student myself, I always wanted to know the WHY and not just the how. My favorite math topic has always been algebra.

I have a B.A. in mathematics. I also have a single-subject credential (math) from the State of California. I am a former high school math teacher. As a high school teacher, I worked with many students with different levels of understanding. I have taught Math 1 and Math 2 under the Common Core standards. I worked in the public school system for two years until I had my first child. I have been on Outschool since 2020. I am also currently working on my Masters of Math Education.  

I believe that learning should be fun, engaging, and interactive. I believe that students will remember content if they have memorable experiences. When students feel comfortable and have enjoyable experiences, they can learn anything. More importantly, I believe that each student is different and learns at their own pace. Each student has unique and individual needs. I believe that everyone can learn anything with the right support and guidance.

For fun, I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, and making crafts. I also love to sing and play the violin. I am also bilingual as Spanish was my native language.
