Lesson Idea Name: I Can Multiply Kahoot


Content Area: Math
Grade Level(s): 5th
Content Standard Addressed: MGSE3.OA.4 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or
division equation relating three whole numbers using the inverse relationship of multiplication and division.
For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations, 8 × ? =
48, 5 = □ ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?.

Technology Standard Addressed: Computational Thinker

Selected Technology Tool:


☐ Socrative ☐ iRespond ☐ Quizlet ☐ Plickers x Kahoot! ☐ Office365 Forms
☐ Other:
URL(s) to support the lesson (if applicable):

Technology that student will use to respond to questions/prompts:


x Computer x Hand-held student response system (like iRespond) x Phone x Tablet (such as iPad)
x Other wireless device (such as iPod Touch)
Type of session:
x Teacher-Paced ☐ Student-Paced
Bloom’s Taxonomy Level(s):
☐ Remembering ☐ Understanding x Applying ☐ Analyzing ☐ Evaluating ☐ Creating

Universal Design for Learning (UDL):


The game style learning method will engage students in a new and growing technological age. Kahoot will
keep their attention in a competitive learning environment while practicing the standards they have been
learning in class. Students will be awarded points for the answers they get correct. They can see themselves
on the leaderboard. For students who need extra practice, they can write down the question and discuss
with the teacher or their classmates after the game has ended. This is great for visual learners.

Describe the instructional activities that will occur PRIOR to the SRT activity and how you will introduce
the SRT activity.
Prior to completing this activity, students will have been learning about multiplication and their times
tables. The class will have explored multiple ways to identify the missing variable in a multiplication
problem. It will be used after some retention, but not mastery. The game will provide the students with
extra help.

Describe the purpose of the SRT activity (check all that apply):
x Assess prior knowledge ☐ Anticipatory set (Create interest in a topic) x To illuminate common
misconceptions ☐ Formative assessment of content knowledge (for purpose of differentiation and
mastery for ALL students) ☐ Summative assessment of content knowledge x Test preparation
x Survey/Poll ☐ Discussion starter ☐ “Homework” collection ☐ Other (please explain):

Briefly describe what will happen DURING the SRT activity:

Student Response and Assessment Tools
During the SRT activity, students will rigorously answer multiplication problems as they compete with their
classmates for the top spot. This will test their knowledge on multiplication and give the teacher an
understanding of where the students are academically on this subject. The teacher will control this game
from his/her desktop and move between the questions. Handheld devices that can access WI-Fi are needed
for the students. This can be an iPad, iPod, their desktop, or even their phones. The activity should last no
more than 30 minutes (depending on discussion and class participation)
Type of questions/prompts used in this activity (check all that apply):
x Multiple choice ☐ Multiple select ☐ True/False ☐ Yes/No
☐ Short open-ended response or fill-in the blank ☐ Longer open-ended response

If you are unable to provide a working sample of your questions, please list them below (8-10):

Right/Wrong answers: Will there be right/wrong answers to these questions?


x Yes ☐ No
☐ Mixed (Some will have correct answers, other will not.)
Immediate corrective feedback: Will you pre-select correct answers to some of all of the questions and
display correct response to the class after the SRT activity?
x Yes
☐ No
Why or why not?
Yes, in order for the students to learn from the activity, I will pre-select correct answers that will show once
they have answered the question. Afterwards, I will also go over all of the questions for additional
clarification.
Describe what will happen AFTER the SRT activity?
After the SRT activity, students can share problems they need more understanding for. As a class, we will
go over all of the problems together. Following the discussion, I will give them another multiplication
worksheet to complete as classwork. This will give them additional practice.
How will the data be used?
As a result of this activity, data on the student’s learning progress will be recorded. This will give the teacher a
clear understanding of where the students are on the subject of multiplication. For students who reach the
top 5 spots on the leaderboard, they may be awarded candy or a small reward. The teacher will analyze this
data and use it to determine whether or not he/she should move to the next topic in mathematics.
Additionally, for students who struggled a little more, the teacher can provide extra support (websites,
worksheets, etc.) for the students.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity.
I have never tried Kahoot for my own classroom setting. This will be a fun way to assess their knowledge and
keep their attention. I hope to be able to learn from this first experience and continue to use it in the
classroom to support student learning. It also pushes students to work harder when they know they are
working toward a goal/reward. I hope to make fun and easy, yet content based work for my students.
Reflective Practice:
This activity could be the approach that one student needed to understand the content. Additionally, having
students think at a quicker pace about their times tables allows them to retain the information at a quicker
rate, like with repetition. To further extend the lesson, I could have students create their own problems after
and solve them. Other technological tools that could be used would probably be other websites/apps that aid
in multiplication factors.
