### Introduction Activity (20 minutes)
**Direct Instruction:**
- Introduce the concept of two-digit multiplication by explaining that we are multiplying numbers that are greater than 9.
- Write a simple two-digit multiplication problem on the board (e.g., 24 × 13).
- Break down the multiplication into smaller, manageable steps. For example:
- Multiply the ones digit (4 × 3 = 12, carry the 1).
- Multiply the tens digit (20 × 3 = 60).
- Repeat with the tens digit of the second number (4 × 10 = 40).
- Add all the partial products together.

### Main Activity (65 minutes)
**Multiplication Relay Race (30 minutes)**
- Divide students into small groups (3-4 students per group). Each group will work together on a set of two-digit multiplication problems in a relay-style format.
- One student starts the relay by solving the first part of a multiplication problem (e.g., multiplying the ones place).
- The next student solves the next part (e.g., multiplying the tens place).
- The final student solves the last step (adding the partial products together).
- After each step, students pass the "math baton" (e.g., a pencil or a marker) to the next teammate.
- 
**Independent Practice (20 minutes)**
Provide each student with a worksheet containing a set of two-digit multiplication problems. Encourage them to try the traditional method of multiplication.
1. 41×12
2. 63×8
3. 57×16
4. 16×11
### Review Questions (15 minutes)
- Ask students to share one strategy that helped them solve the multiplication problems today. This reinforces learning and allows students to help one another.
- Review key concepts from the lesson.
### Follow up Tasks(5 minutes)
1. 23×12
2. 50×8
3. 16×76
### Expected Learning Outcome:
