The teacher will display 20
counters and model how to
put the counters in equal
groups of 5 and equal groups
of 4. The teacher will show
the multiplication number
sentence for the equal
groups. The students will

Teaching
Strategies/Application
to begin lesson on “How
multiplying works.” This lesson
reviews how to make groups to
show a multiplication number
sentence. The students will
work along with the lesson
using counters to show the
equal group and then connect it
