Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 mins	Begin with a brief explanation of multiplication as repeated addition. Use examples like 3 x 4 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3.
2	Guided Practice	10 mins	Use multiplication flashcards and call on students to answer. Include a mix of questions to check understanding.
3	Independent Practice	10 mins	Distribute worksheets containing multiplication problems. Students will work on these individually while the teacher circulates to assist as needed.
4	Timed Drill	3 mins	Conduct a quick timed drill where students answer as many multiplication questions as possible in 1 minute.
5	Cool Down and Review	2 mins	Review key concepts and common multiplication facts. Encourage students to share strategies they used.
6	Homework Assignment	3 mins	Assign multiplication practice problems for homework (worksheets or online exercises). Inform students that homework will be collected and reviewed individually.

Homework Check

• Collect homework at the beginning of the next class and provide feedback without requiring students to present in front of the class.

Assessment

• Assessment will be conducted informally through observation during guided practice and the timed drill, and formally with the completed worksheets.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to practice multiplication facts at home using flashcards, online games, or engaging family members in learning activities.
• Reinforce positive behavior and participation throughout the lesson with verbal praise and small rewards.
