Welcome, young explorers! Today, we are setting sail on an exciting adventure to the mysterious Island of Multiplicand! This enchanting place is filled with treasures waiting to be discovered, but we’ll only find them if we learn the magical skill of multiplication.
The Story Begins
Once upon a time, on the Island of Multiplicand, there lived a wise old mathematician named Professor Multiplier. He had a challenge for all the brave adventurers who dared to visit his island: “Find my hidden treasures by solving the multiplication mysteries!”
On this island, you’ll meet friendly animals who need your help. Each animal has a number of friends, and they want to know how many friends they’ll have altogether when they gather for a party!

Interactive Activity: The Magic of Groups
Let’s gather around and use our Magic Multiplication Train!
- For Tommy the Turtle, who has 3 turtles and each turtle invites 4 friends:
- How can we figure out how many turtles are coming to the party?
- For Lucy the Lioness, who has 4 lions and each lion brings 2 guests:

Let’s begin with our multiplication sentences!
Example Breakdown
- For Tommy: 3 (number of turtles) × 4 (friends each turtle has) = ?
- For Lucy: 4 (number of lions) × 2 (guests each lion brings) = ?
Come up with your answers, and we will write our multiplication sentences on the board!
Conclusion: The Treasure Awaits
Once we solve their mysteries, the animals will reward us with wonderful multiplication treasures like stickers or certificates as proof of your incredible math skills! Who’s ready to dive into the fascinating world of multiplication?
