Hello, Year 3 Mathematicians! 👋 Today, we're going to embark on a magical journey into the world of multiplication. But first, let’s set the stage for our adventure!
Imagine you are at a marvellous magic show in a grand theatre. The spotlight shines brightly on the stage, and you can hear the audience buzzing with excitement. Suddenly, the magician appears!
The magician has a special trick where he multiplies objects to create something amazing! For our lesson today, we'll discover how multiplication works by helping the magician with his trick.
The Magician's Challenge: He has a basket full of magic rabbits. Each rabbit can perform exciting tricks, but he needs your help to know how many tricks they can perform altogether!
Now, how many rabbits do we have in total? 🐰
To find the total number of rabbits, we can use multiplication:
Can you calculate that?
Let’s solve it together:
Now, here’s the fun part! Turn to your partner and create your own magic trick using different numbers of rabbits and rows.
Take a moment to solve these challenges together!
After our magical adventure in multiplication, we’ll have some time to share our findings and see how we worked our multiplication magic! Remember, each time we multiply, we’re just adding groups together—how cool is that?
Let's gather our thoughts and get ready for more exciting multiplication tricks!
