Session 9: Two-digit multiplications

Introduction Activity (30min)

30 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.

Multiplication Relay Race (40min)40 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.

 

Reflections(10min)

Review

Assessment  (10 minutes)

• Ask students to share one strategy that helped them solve the multiplication problems today. This reinforces learning and givesallows students an opportunity to help one another.




Closing (10 minutes)



• Review key concepts from the lesson.
