Lesson Plan: Multiplication Fact Strategies

Grade Level: 3-5

Duration: 15 Minutes

Learning Objective

Students will learn and apply various strategies to memorize and recall multiplication facts efficiently.

Materials Needed

Introduction (3 minutes)

  1. Engage Students: Begin by asking students to share any multiplication facts they already know. Write a few on the board.

  2. Discuss Importance: Explain the importance of knowing multiplication facts for solving more complex problems in math.

  3. Introduce Strategies:

    • Skip counting
    • Using arrays
    • Fact families
    • The commutative property

Direct Instruction (5 minutes)

  1. Skip Counting: Demonstrate counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s to find products. For example, to find 4 x 3, skip count 4 three times: 4, 8, 12.

  2. Using Arrays: Draw an array on the whiteboard for 2 x 5 (2 rows of 5). Show how this can visually represent multiplication.

  3. Fact Families: Explain how facts relate to one another. For example, if 3 x 4 = 12, then 4 x 3 also equals 12.

  4. Commutative Property: Illustrate that the order of factors does not change the product. Use examples to show 5 x 2 and 2 x 5 both equal 10.

Guided Practice (5 minutes)

  1. Flashcard Fast Round: Quickly go through multiplication flashcards. Ask students to shout out the answers. Focus on providing positive reinforcement.

  2. Group Work: Divide students into pairs and have them create their own arrays for multiplication facts, sharing with each other.

  3. Real-World Application: Give an example such as, "If there are 3 bags with 4 apples each, how many apples do we have in total?"

Closure (2 minutes)

  1. Review Key Concepts: Recap the multiplication strategies discussed. Ask students to share which strategy they found most helpful.

  2. Motivate: Encourage continuous practice and remind the students that multiplication facts will make their future math work more manageable.

Homework Assignment

Tasks

  1. Complete the worksheet with the following problems:

    • 6 x 7 = ?
    • 8 x 3 = ?
    • 4 x 9 = ?
    • 5 x 6 = ?
    • 7 x 2 = ?

  2. Create an array for the multiplication facts 3 x 5. Draw it on a piece of paper and label the rows and columns.

Correct Answers

  1. 6 x 7 = 42
  2. 8 x 3 = 24
  3. 4 x 9 = 36
  4. 5 x 6 = 30
  5. 7 x 2 = 14

Assessment

Evaluate students based on participation during the lesson, completeness of homework, and creativity in creating arrays.

Adjustments for Differentiation

Provide extra support or modified worksheets for students who struggle, and advanced problems for those who finish early.
