Lesson Plan- Gradual Release
Grade:3 Subject: Math Topic: Two-step word problems
Focus/Objectives:

addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Multiply and divide use to 10.
Materials: Math Workbook, chart paper, whiteboards
CCSS: 3.NBT.3 Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 using
strategies based on place value and properties of operation. (Council of Chief Officers, 2022.
Pg.24)
3.OA.1 Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total

Lesson/Activity: The lesson will follow the Gradual Release Model
Focused Instruction(I do):
- Fluency: Sprint multiplying and dividing with 1 and 0.
- Group counting review interpreting multiplication as repeated addition.
- Activity 1: Teacher leads the class in a brief lesson on decomposing the word problem
and finding the first step to solving the problem. The teacher will explain that
students need to understand that this is a multi-step problem using all four
operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
