Exciting Introduction to Multiples

Lesson Hook: The Multiples Adventure

Objective

Today, we will embark on a fun and interactive journey to explore the world of multiples!


Setting the Scene

Imagine you and your friends are explorers on a treasure hunt! But not just any treasure hunt—this one requires you to find hidden multiples of numbers around a mysterious island. To unlock the clues, you’ll need to identify the multiples of given numbers and solve challenges that will lead you to the treasure!


Preparing for the Adventure

Step 1: Gear Up

Before we start our quest, let’s make sure we’re equipped! Here’s what you’ll need:

Step 2: Understanding Multiples

To navigate the island, we need to understand what a multiple is.

Definition: A multiple of a number is the product of that number and any whole number. For example, the multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and so on.

Have a Quick Discussion


The Adventure Begins

Now that we’re geared up and have a better understanding of multiples, let’s split into teams. Each team will receive a map with clues leading to hidden treasures on the island.

Clue Examples:

  1. Find the first treasure located at a location that is a multiple of 4.
  2. The next treasure is hidden at a spot that’s a multiple of 6!

Your job is to work with your team to solve the clues, write down the multiples you discover, and eventually reach the final treasure!


Conclusion

At the end of the lesson, we will come back together to show off the treasures we found and share the multiples we discovered. Get ready for an exciting math adventure that will make you see mathematics in a whole new light! 🌈


Let’s set sail and uncover the mysteries of multiples! 🚀
