Language and Math Connections: Many of the multiplications situations in this lesson involve the phrases times as many or times as much. To reinforce understanding, use counters or drawings to set up a situation like the one shown below. Ask students to describe what is shown using the phrase times as many.

Pose a different situation times as much and have students work with a partner to model the situation using the two color counters. 3-9 Enrichment: Be a Critic 3-9 STEM Activity: Our Water Footprint. Complete independently, then switch with a classmate to practice critiquing the reasoning of others. Partners can work together to reach a consensus for question #3.

Strand: Cycling of Matter in Ecosystems Sta ndard 5.3.4: Evaluate design solutions whose primary function is to conserve Earth’s environments and resources. Defne the problem, identify criteria and constraints, analyze available data on proposed solutions, and determine an optimal solution . Emphasize how humans can balance everyday needs (agriculture, industry, and energy) while conserving Earth’s environments and resources.
