Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays (ACMNA031)

Students Prior Knowledge and Experience:

Students have been working in small ability groups. Each group is taken with a teacher, pre-service teacher
or education assistant. Students are split based on previous math experiences.
In classes students have been developing their knowledge on multiplication through the use of skip
counting, repeated addition, groups of and arrays has been briefly mentioned.

Diversity has been catered for in the use of ability groups. Students are now coming
together to work on a small activity individually. This activity can help to assess student
knowledge for the next sequence of lessons.
Cupcake templates have been left blank for students to colour in, when time finishes.
Extra work will be available for strong students to extend their knowledge.
Students that are still developing the concepts will be offered additional one on one
assistance if needed.

Introduction:

(How will you engage

the learners/)
Students will be brought down to sit on the mat.
We will discuss previous lessons on multiplication.
Questions will be asked to the students as memory

Outline what is expected by the end
of the lesson, ie. Activity to be
completed and glued into workbook.
Let students know that they are
expected to work independently in

understanding of how they are going
with the concept. This will help to
know where to go in the next lesson.

Sequence of learning
experiences: (What will you do to
help the students achieve the learning
objectives? What tasks and activities will the
students be involved in to help achieve the
learning objectives?)

Students will be working on a multiplication

activity, which requires them to extend their
knowledge from using groups of to developing into
multiplication sums, ie. 3 groups of 4 is the same
as 3 x 4.

thinking relating groups of to times.

Students will need their scissors,

glue and workbook. They will be
required to work independently and
ask the teacher if any assistance is
required.

In this activity students must match the cupcake

topper to the cupcake base, they are also required
to match the answer (cherry) to the sum (see
template).

Lesson conclusion:

(How will you

summarise the learning and relate it to the
lesson objectives?)

Gain the students attention. Bring them to the mat

to discuss learning experience. Recap questions
asked at beginning of the lesson. Ie. Why do we
uses multiplication over repeated addition etc.
Students can also come up with an example of
their own to be able to go to lunch this will
enable the teacher to see if any students need
further assistance.
