The Magic Multiplication Adventure

Objective:

Today, we embark on a magical journey through the land of Multiplication! By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to understand and perform multiplication with ease.

Introduction:

A Mysterious Message

Imagine one sunny day, as you stroll through the enchanted forest, you stumble upon a mystical scroll lying on a mossy stone. As you pick it up and open it, shimmering sparkles surround you, and a voice speaks:

“Welcome, brave adventurer! I am the Guardian of the Multiplication Realm. To pass, you must unravel the secrets of multiplication!”

A Secret Mission

In order to continue your journey, you must help me solve multiplication problems that will unlock the portals to new lands! Our first challenge is to understand what multiplication really means.

Activity: The Enchanted Array

Creating Magical Arrays

Now, let’s get our thinking caps on! Multiplication is like adding the same number again and again. For instance, if we have 3 baskets with 4 apples in each, we can write this as:

We can also visualize this as an array:

🍏 🍏 🍏 🍏
🍏 🍏 🍏 🍏
🍏 🍏 🍏 🍏

Your Challenge

  1. Draw an array for the following multiplication problem:
    • 2 baskets of 5 oranges 🟠
  2. Can you think of a real-life example where you might use multiplication?

Conclusion

Once you complete the challenge, we will gather around at the “Multiplication Fire Circle” to share our arrays and exciting multiplication stories! By embracing multiplication, you're one step closer to becoming a master adventurer of numbers.

Now, let’s start our adventure! What magical arrays will you create? 🌟
