CONTENT
Multiplication means adding the same number many times .
Example 1:
2 + 2 + 2 = 6
3 × 2 = 6
Explain that 3 × 2 means 2 added three times.
Example 2:
2. 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
4 × 5 = 20
Step 2: Multiplication by Repeated Addition
Teacher demonstrates using objects.
Example:
🍎🍎 + 🍎🍎 + 🍎🍎
2 + 2 + 2 = 6
Therefore:
3 × 2 = 6
More examples
4 × 2 = 8
2. 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
3 × 3 = 9
3. 5 + 5 = 10
2 × 5 = 10
LESSON 3: Skip Counting
Explain that skip counting helps us multiply easily.
Write on the board.
Counting in 2s 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Counting in 3s 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
Counting in 5s 5, 10, 15, 20, 25
Counting in 10s 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
Activity:
Clap while counting together.
Example: Teacher: 2
Pupils: 4
Teacher: 6
Pupils: 8
LESSON 4: Writing Numbers in Order
Ascending Order
Numbers arranged from smallest to biggest.
Example:
3, 8, 1, 5
Ascending order:
1, 3, 5, 8
Descending Order
Numbers arranged from biggest to smallest.
Example:
3, 8, 1, 5
Descending order:
8, 5, 3, 1
Let pupils practice with examples.
Evaluation
Ask pupils to answer the following questions.
Write as multiplication:
4 + 4 + 4 = ______
Skip count in 2s from 2 to 10.
Arrange in ascending order:
7, 2, 9, 4
Arrange in descending order:
6, 1, 8, 3
Skip count in 5s up to 25.
