Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Multiplication	5 minutes	Introduce the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. Use visual aids to illustrate the idea.
2	Group Activity	10 minutes	Divide students into small groups. Use counters to represent multiplication problems (e.g., 3 groups of 4 counters). Have each group solve a problem.
3	Independent Practice	10 minutes	Distribute worksheets with multiplication exercises. Students work individually to complete the problems.
4	Homework Explanation	5 minutes	Explain homework assignment: Students will practice multiplication by creating their own flashcards. Ensure understanding without students presenting in front of the class.

Assessment

• Monitor student participation during group activities.
• Review completed worksheets to assess understanding.
• Check homework for comprehension of multiplication concepts.

Homework

• Create a set of multiplication flashcards (3x, 4x, 5x tables) to practice at home.

Reflection

• After the lesson, note what strategies worked well and what could be improved for future lessons on multiplication. This can help refine teaching approaches and resources.
