A Multiples Adventure: Let’s Discover Together!

Introduction to the Lesson

Welcome, Year 4 mathematicians! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting adventure into the world of multiples. Grab your explorer hats because we have some fun activities planned!

Setting the Scene: The Magical Multiples Map

To kick off our lesson, let’s imagine that we are all explorers in a magical land filled with numbers. Each number has a special treasure hidden at its multiple.

Activity: The Quest for Number Treasures

  1. The Magical Map:

    • I will draw a large colourful map on the whiteboard with various islands labeled with different numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10.
    • Each island has a treasure chest that contains the multiples of that number.

  2. Group Task:

    • Divide the class into small groups and assign each group an island.
    • Each group will explore their island to discover the first five multiples of their assigned number.

  3. Discovering Multiples:

    • Use the following guide to help find the multiples:
      • For island 2, the treasure chest holds: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
      • For island 3, you’ll find: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15.
      • And so on for the other islands!

  4. Sharing The Treasures:

    • After a few minutes of exploration, each group will share their findings with the class.
    • As they present, we will create a class treasure chart on the whiteboard, showcasing all the multiples discovered.

Wrap-Up: The Importance of Multiples

Once we've completed our treasure map, we'll gather back as a class to discuss why understanding multiples is important. We will explore how they help us with division, patterns, and even finding the least common multiple.

Conclusion: Ready for our Multiples Challenge?

By the end of our lesson, you’ll not only have a deeper understanding of multiples but also a treasure chest of knowledge that you can take with you in your mathematical journeys ahead! Are you ready to take on this adventure? Let’s get started!

Let’s make this lesson fun and memorable!
