Introduction: The Magic of Multiplication

Hello, young mathematicians! Today, we are going to embark on a fun and magical adventure in the world of numbers. Are you ready? Let’s explore the mysterious land of multiplication!

Setting the Scene: The Multiplication Marketplace

Imagine you have a vibrant marketplace filled with colourful fruit stalls. Each stall has different fruits for sale, like apples, bananas, and oranges. But there's something special about this marketplace—everything is in groups!

Activity: Fruit Grouping Surprise

  1. Picture It: Close your eyes and picture the market. You can see a stall with 3 baskets of apples. How many apples would that be if each basket has 4 apples?

  2. Group Discussion: Talk with a partner. If there are 3 baskets and each has 4 apples, how many apples do we have in total?

  3. Brain Teaser: If we count the baskets by groups, we can ask: “How many apples are there altogether?” Let’s find out together!
