Introduction (5 Minutes)

Begin the lesson by asking the students if they know what multiples are. Explain that multiples of a number are the products of that number and any whole number.

Example: The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, etc. This is because:

• 3 × 1 = 3
• 3 × 2 = 6
• 3 × 3 = 9, and so on.

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

1. Define Multiples: Write on the board the definition of multiples and provide examples for different numbers:

   • Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
   • Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

2. Finding Multiples: Teach students how to find multiples of a number by repeated addition or multiplication. Ask some students to come to the board and write the first five multiples of 4 and 6.

3. Real-World Applications: Discuss where multiples can be seen in daily life, such as counting by twos when skipping (2, 4, 6...) or when grouping items (e.g., arranging chairs in rows of 5).

Guided Practice (10 Minutes)

Distribute worksheets with a variety of problems:

1. List the first 5 multiples of the following numbers:

   • 3
   • 7
   • 10

2. Circle the multiples of 5 within this set of numbers:

   • 2, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 18

3. Word Problems:

   • If you buy 3 packs of markers, each containing 4 markers, how many markers do you have altogether? (Expected answer: 12 markers, because 4 x 3 = 12)

During this time, walk around the classroom to provide assistance and ensure understanding.

---

Independent Practice (5 Minutes)

Give students a simple task to work on individually.

Worksheet Exercises:

1. Complete the following sequence by finding the missing multiples:
   • Multiples of 6: 6, , 18, , 30
   • Multiples of 8: , 16, , 32

Encourage students to use their scratch paper if needed.

---

Closure (5 Minutes)

Review the lesson by asking a few students to share their answers to the independent practice. Reinforce that finding multiples helps in understanding multiplication and assists in problem-solving.

Key Takeaways:

• Define multiples and how to find them.
• Recognize the real-world applications of multiples.
