Lesson Plan: Multiplication

Subject: Mathematics

Grade: 4

Duration: 30 minutes

Objective

Students will understand and apply the concept of multiplication, including solving problems involving multiplication facts up to 12 x 12. They will be able to use arrays and repeated addition as strategies for multiplication.

Materials Needed

Introduction (5 minutes)

  1. Warm-Up Activity: Begin with a quick review of addition and how it relates to multiplication. For example, ask students what (3 + 3 + 3) equals and guide them to the idea that multiplication is a quicker way to solve repeated addition.
  2. Introduce the multiplication symbol (×) and explain that multiplication is a way to find the total of equal groups.

Direct Teaching (10 minutes)

  1. Introduce Multiplication Using Arrays:

    • Draw an array on the board, illustrating groups of objects (example: 3 rows of 4 stars).
    • Show how to calculate the total using multiplication: (3 \times 4 = 12).

  2. Discuss the Commutative Property: Explain that changing the order of multiplication does not change the product (e.g., (4 × 3 = 12) and (3 × 4 = 12)).

  3. Demonstrate Real-Life Examples: Give examples of real-life scenarios involving multiplication, such as groups of students, trays of food, or packing boxes.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

  1. Interactive Practice: Use multiplication flashcards to call on students to answer questions.

    • Show a card, and ask the class to answer together. For example, "What is (7 \times 8)?"

  2. Group Activity: Divide the class into pairs. Provide each pair with counters and have them create their own arrays to represent given multiplication problems (e.g., (5 \times 2)).

  3. Circulate around the room to support groups as needed and facilitate discussions about their arrays.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

Provide students with a worksheet that includes a variety of multiplication problems (below are examples to include).

Homework Assignment

Instructions: Solve the following multiplication problems and bring the completed worksheet to class tomorrow.

  1. (6 \times 7 =) __
  2. (4 \times 9 =) __
  3. (8 \times 5 =) __
  4. Create an array for (3 \times 6) using counters. Draw your array or take a picture.
  5. If 12 students are arranged in 4 equal groups, how many students are in each group? (Hint: What multiplication problem would you use to solve this?)

Answers

  1. (6 \times 7 = 42)
  2. (4 \times 9 = 36)
  3. (8 \times 5 = 40)
  4. Students should draw their array or provide a photo of 3 rows of 6 counters.
  5. (12 \div 4 = 3), meaning there are 3 students in each group.

Closing (2 minutes)

Recap the day's lesson by reviewing the definition of multiplication and its applications. Encourage students to practice their multiplication facts at home.

Note: Ensure to follow any specific modifications or accommodations as per your class needs, including additional support for students who may require it.
