Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson plan

Topic

Array Multiplication

Objectives

• Understand the concept of array multiplication.
• Represent multiplication using arrays visually.
• Solve simple multiplication problems using arrays.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Array cards (pre-prepared with different arrays to represent multiplication)
• Worksheets with multiplication problems
• Counters or manipulatives (e.g., blocks)
• Projector (if available)

Grade/Age Group

Year 2

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 students

Lesson Length

30 minutes

Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics, specifically focusing on understanding multiplication and using arrays as a visual representation.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Arrays	5 min	Introduce the concept of arrays and their relation to multiplication. Use a simple visual example on the whiteboard (e.g., 3 rows of 4).
2	Demonstration	5 min	Show several examples of arrays on the board. Use counters to build an array and demonstrate how multiplication relates (e.g., 3×4=12).
3	Guided Practice	10 min	Distribute array cards. Guide students in pairs to create their own arrays based on given multiplication problems (e.g., 2×5). Circulate to assist.
4	Independent Practice	5 min	Hand out worksheets with multiplication problems to solve using arrays. Allow students to draw their own arrays to solve these problems.
5	Homework Explanation	3 min	Assign homework that involves creating an array for multiplication problems. Explain they will submit without presentations.
6	Review and Wrap-Up	2 min	Quick recap of what was learned. Answer any final questions and remind students where to submit homework.

Homework

• Create and draw arrays for the following multiplication problems: 4×3, 5×2, and 2×6. Students will submit their drawings in the next class without presenting them in front of the class.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to use their manipulatives at home, if they have them, to better visualize the concepts.
• Ensure to check for understanding throughout the lesson by observing students during guided practice.
