</div>### Introduction Activity (30 minutes)

Quick review of addition. Write a few addition problems on the board and ask students to solve them individually. (eg. 3+3,4+4)

**Introduction to multiplication**

- Direct instruction- Explain that multiplication is a way to add the same number multiple times.
- Show an example on the board: 3+3+3+3 is 4 times 3 added that we can to write it as 4×3= 12

**Visual representation:**

- Use counters to demonstrate the groups. arrange 3 groups of 4 counters visually and then write multiplication sentence on the board.
- Show how to create an array (3 rows of 4 counters) and discuss its connection to multiplication.

### Main Activity (50minutes)

- Divide students into small groups
- Give an activity sheet for each group and solve it (40 minutes)

### Review Questions(10 minutes)

- Encourage them to summarize the main points of the lesson. Reinforcement between addition and multiplication.
- Encourage students to think of multiplication as “quick addition” and discuss where they see multiplication in real life.

### Follow-up Tasks(10 minutes)

1. If i have 2 boxes of 5 pencils, how many pencils do i have in total?
2. A bookshelf has 3 rows of 4 books. How many books are on the shelf?
