Lesson 10: Let’s multiply by 7
Students will revisit the strategies learned throughout this unit and apply them to develop an effective approach for multiplying by 7, reinforcing their understanding and problem-solving skills. They will practice multiplying by 7 by playing a game where they find a pathway to the Fire Egg.
Lesson 9: Let’s multiply by 9
Students will apply their understanding of multiplying by 10 and the concept of equal groups to develop efficient strategies for multiplying by 9. Students will practice multiplying by 9 by playing a game called Carrot Connections.
Lesson 8: Let’s multiply by 4 and 8
This lesson will explore the connection between multiplying by 4 and 8. Students will use this relationship to develop an effective strategy for multiplying by 8. Students will practice multiplying by 4 and 8 by playing a game called Back Yard Bingo.
Lesson 7: Let’s multiply by 3 and 6
Students will explore using times table connections to multiply numbers by 3 and by 6. Students will apply their understanding to a potion making activity.
Lesson 6: Let’s multiply by 2 and 4
Students will explore the relationship between multiplying by 2 and 4, discovering that doubling a number twice provides an effective strategy for multiplying by 4. This approach reinforces their understanding of multiplication patterns and strengthens their fluency with related times tables. Students can practice multiplying by 2 and 4 by playing a hands-on target practice […]
Lesson 5: Let’s identify factor friends
Students will identify factors and make connections between numbers that share similar factor amounts, enhancing their understanding of how factors relate to one another and to the structure of numbers. Students will use their findings to create factor bug buddies.
Lesson 4: Let’s investigate factors
Students will explore factors by investigating and analysing various number cards. This inquiry will deepen their understanding of factors and their role in multiplication and division.
Lesson 3: Let’s explore multiples
Students will investigate multiples and look for connections and patterns to make ‘I noticed’ statements.
Lesson 2: Let’s use skip counting to identify multiples
Students will practise skip counting to identify multiples of particular numbers. This approach will help them recognise patterns and build a stronger foundation in multiplication. Students will practice skip counting to identify multiples with a game called Escape the Multiples Maze.
Lesson 1: Let’s explore equal groups
This lesson reviews the concept of equal groups and explores the connection between multiplication and repeated addition through imagery. Students will find equal groups in ‘I-Spy’ pictures and connect the groups to addition and multiplication number sentences.
