Indicator (code): B5.1.2.1.1-2 Apply mental mathematics, strategies to determine answers for basic, multiplication facts to 81 and related division, facts.Content Std (code): B5.1.2.1 Describe and apply mental mathematics, strategies and number properties to determine, answers for basic multiplication facts to 81 and, related division facts
Performance Indicator: Learners can apply mental mathematics strategies to determine answers for, basic multiplication facts to 81 and related division facts.Core Competencies: Critical Thinking; Justification of Ideas;
T.L.R.(s): bottle tops, bundles of sticks, exercise booksKeywords: Facts, Related, Strategies
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Let learners recall multiplication facts to 15. Call learners to randomly answer multiplication facts. Let learners recall multiplication facts to 18. Let learners recall multiplication facts to 20.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Describe mental mathematics strategies used to determine a given basic fact, such as A) Skip count up by one or two groups from a known fact. e.g., if 5 × 7 = 35, then 6 × 7 is equal to (35 + 7) and,
7 × 7 is equal to (35 + 7 + 7)
B) Skip count down by one or two groups from a known fact e.g., if 8 × 8 = 64,
Then 7 × 8 is equal to (64 – 8) and
6 × 8 is equal to (64 – 8 – 8)
Engage learners to employ mental mathematics strategies used to determine a given basic fact, such as A) Doubling e.g., for 8 × 3, think 4 × 3 = 12,
And 8 × 3 = (12 + 12)=24
B) Use patterns when multiplying by 9 e.g., for 9 × 6, think 10 × 6 = 60,
And 60 – 6 = 54
E.g2. for 7 × 9, think 7 × 10 = 70,
And 70 – 7 = 63
Guide learners to apply mental mathematics strategies used to determine a given basic fact, such as A) repeated doubling e.g., if 2 × 6 is equal to 12, then 4 × 6 is equal to 24
And 8 × 6 is equal to 48
B) repeated halving e.g., for 60 ÷ 4, think 60 ÷ 2 = 30
And 30 ÷ 2 = 15
C) Relate division to multiplication e.g., for 64 ÷ 8, think 8 × ... = 64 Through demonstrations, guide learners to determine the products when one factor is a multiple of 10, 100, or 1000 by annexing zero or adding zeros E.g., for 3×200 think of 3×2 and then add two zeros. Apply halving and doubling when determining a given product e.g., 32×5 is the same as 16×10 Apply the distributive property to determine a given product involving multiplying factors that can be written in the expanded form e.g., 6×18 = (6×10) + (6×8) = 60+48 = 108. For this activity, learners use bottle tops, bundles of sticks and exercise books to model the stated operation concretely and record matching number sentences and solutions.
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Give learners task to complete whiles you go round to guide those who don’t understand. Give remedial learning to those who may need special help.
