Title :Multiplication and addition
Duration: 45 minutes, 1st block
Objectives:
The student will be able to
1- Add to find the number of objects in equal groups.
2- Add or multiply to find the number in equal groups.
3- Read the multiplication sentence correctly.
Standard:
1.1 Represent a problem by using numbers, objects, signs and symbols or
simple diagrams.
4.1 Know by heart addition and subtraction facts to 20.
4.7 Relate multiplication to repeated addition or counting in multiples
Materials:
Cubes
Stickers (animals, smily faces, animals)
Paper clips
Resources:
1- The Scheme of work of the High Supreme Council.
2- Scottforesman teacher edition /titled Math /grade 2 chapter 13
3- Extension worksheet from : www.teachervision.com
Activating prior knowledge/ Warm up:
 Show students a candy bag.
 Ask three girls to come to the front .
 Give the first girl one candy ,the second girl two candies and
the third girl no candy at all.
 Ask students is it fair to give each girl different number of
candies? How can I be fair a teacher? students( to give all the
girls the same amount) .
Tell students that if I call the first group , the second group and
the third groupand I gave them all the same amount of candies
what do we call those groups ? Students (equal groups – they may
say it in Arabic).



Revise the meaning of equal groups from previous lesson.
Write down on the board equal groups.
Write down the additional sentence for the candies and tell
students that today we are going to find out an easier way
to conclude the sum of equal groups.
Value: the importance of sharing things between friends equally.
Teaching strategy
Show students a picture of equal groups of 2 stars. Ask volunteer to
write the addition sentence on the board .Encourage them to find
easier ways to conclude the answer.
As a hint, encourage them to think of how many times they say 2.
Introduce the concept of multiplication and its symbol.
Show students how to write a multiplication sentence and how to
read it. (you first write the number of the group then the number of
the objects inside each group ) (Verbally you say the number of the
groups times the number of the objects is answer).
Point out the fact that we use multiplication when we have equal
groups only.
Go back to the candies example and encourage students to tell you
how they can use multiplication in it .
Give a pair of small cubes . Ask them to form equal groups by using
the cubes and write down additional sentences and the multiplication
sentence .
Give each group various manipulatives( paper clips,different shapes
and styles of stickers) and A3 paper. The A3 papers have circles to
represent the equal group . Ask students to fill those circles with
numbers of objects and then write additional and multiplication
sentence .
Check groups' answers.
Explain the worksheet which should be done individually in their
math booklet lesson 3 sheet 7.
Students’ Activity:
 Write the addition sentence on the board.
 Explain the meaning of the equal groups as a revision from
the previous lesson .
 Read a multiplication sentence aloud.
2
 As pairs : make equal groups by using the cubes
 Group work, Students will make equal groups by using the
provided manipulatives. Then they should write the addition
sentence and the multiplication sentence that represents
their groups' work.
 Individual worksheet in the math booklet lesson 3 sheet 7
Students should first look at the picture and write addition
sentence to the picture then use multiplication sentence for
that picture.
Closure:
Revise with the students the main points of today's lesson. Ask them to
think,show and tell the equal groups in their bodies e.g ( 2 eyes ,2 ears,2
hands ,2 group of 10 fingers ,one group of one noise ) Aks volunteer to
come and write on the board the multiplication sentence to the body
group . Tell studnets that tomorrow they will have more practice on
multiplication .
Lesson Extension and/or Modification:
Lesson extension: Ask them to open their math copybook and draw their
own equal group and then write an addition and multiplication sentence.
For advanced students: do an extra worksheet of problem solving .
For Enlgish learners : by seeing and counting the objects in each group will
help them
For visual learner: seeing the pictures and the stickers will help them .
For bodily/kinesthetic learners : counting their body parts will help them .
Logical learners: the summary question motivate their thinking.
Intrapersonal learners: solving the worksheet individually.
Assessment:
The teacher will formally assess students' understanding based on correct
completion of worksheet for the math booklet lesson 3 sheet 7
The teacher will assess the students ' understanding informally by
observing the group work.

Reflection:
The lesson went well. The children liked the idea of the candies in
the warm up. Bringing a candy during the warm up catches
student's attention. In addition, they liked making equal groups
using their group manipulative.
