Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Begin the lesson by asking students if they are familiar with multiplication. Have they encountered it in their previous classes?
• Introduce the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. For example, explain that 3 × 4 is the same as adding 3 four times (3 + 3 + 3 + 3).

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Demonstration of Basic Multiplication Facts:

   • Write multiplication facts on the whiteboard (e.g., 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, etc.).
   • Discuss how to memorize these facts for quick recall.
   • Use a few examples, such as:
     • 2 × 5 = 10 (2 added 5 times)
     • 4 × 3 = 12 (4 added 3 times)

2. Use of Flashcards:

   • Show multiplication flashcards to reinforce key facts.
   • Ask students to read the fact and state the answer aloud.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

• Provide worksheets with a series of multiplication problems (single digits).
• Walk through the first problem together as a class.
  • Example: What is 6 × 3? Students can use counters or draw a representation to solve it.
• Allow students to work in pairs on the next few problems and circulate the room to assist as necessary.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

• Have students complete the remaining problems on their own to assess understanding.
• Remind students to check their work as they finish.
