Got it! Here's a lesson plan for 3rd-grade math, focused on Multiplication and Division.

This is
a key concept at that level, and it helps build foundational skills for more advanced math later
on.

Lesson Plan: Introduction to Multiplication and Division

Grade: 3
Duration: 1 Hour
Topic: Multiplication and Division (Focus on fact families and the relationship between
multiplication and division)
Objective:

 Students will understand the relationship between multiplication and division.


 Students will practice multiplying and dividing numbers within 1–12.
 Students will use fact families to reinforce this understanding.

Materials:

 Whiteboard and markers


 Multiplication and division flashcards
 Chart paper with multiplication and division facts
 Worksheets for individual practice
 Counters or small objects for hands-on practice (optional)

Lesson Outline:

1. Warm-Up (10 Minutes)

 Quick Review of Addition and Subtraction: Start with a brief review of addition and
subtraction facts. Use a few simple examples to ensure students are comfortable with
these operations.
 Introduction to Multiplication and Division:
o Ask students, “What do you think multiplication means?” (Expectation: repeated
addition).
o Then ask, “What does division mean?” (Expectation: splitting into equal parts or
groups).
o Give examples (e.g., 3 x 4 = 12 and 12 ÷ 4 = 3) and explain how they are related.

2. Direct Instruction (15 Minutes)


 Multiplication as Repeated Addition:
Write a simple multiplication problem on the board, like 3 x 4. Show how it’s the same as
4 + 4 + 4 (repeated addition).
o Example: “3 groups of 4 is the same as 4 + 4 + 4, which equals 12.”
o Use counters or visual aids to help illustrate the concept (e.g., group 4 objects
three times to show 3 x 4).
 Division as Sharing into Equal Groups:
Write a division problem on the board, like 12 ÷ 4. Show how it’s like sharing 12 objects
into 4 equal groups.
o Example: “If we have 12 cookies and want to share them equally among 4
people, how many cookies does each person get?”
o Use counters to visually demonstrate division.
 Fact Families:
Explain that multiplication and division are related and are part of the same fact family.
o Example: The fact family for 3 x 4 = 12 looks like this:
 3 x 4 = 12
 4 x 3 = 12
 12 ÷ 4 = 3
 12 ÷ 3 = 4
o Write these on the board and discuss how the numbers are connected.

3. Guided Practice (15 Minutes)

 Use flashcards with multiplication and division problems. Have students solve them as a
class and write answers on the whiteboard.
 Provide a set of problems for the students to work on in pairs, encouraging them to
explain their thinking and help each other.
o Example problems:
 6x5=?
 15 ÷ 3 = ?
 4x8=?
 24 ÷ 6 = ?

4. Independent Practice (10 Minutes)

 Hand out a worksheet with a mix of multiplication and division problems. Include some
word problems that require students to think about real-life applications of these
operations (e.g., "There are 12 cupcakes, and 4 friends want to share them equally. How
many cupcakes does each friend get?").
 Walk around the room to offer support as needed.

5. Closing and Review (10 Minutes)

 Review the main concepts:


o How multiplication is repeated addition.
o How division is sharing into equal groups.
o The connection between multiplication and division through fact families.
 Ask a few students to share their answers from the worksheet and explain how they
solved them.
 Exit Ticket:
Before leaving, ask each student to solve a quick problem on their own (e.g., 5 x 2 = ?) to
check for understanding.

Assessment:

 Formative: Monitor student participation during guided practice and check for
understanding during independent work.
 Summative: Evaluate the worksheet completion and the exit ticket.

Extension Activities:

 For advanced students: Offer more challenging multiplication and division problems or
introduce simple word problems that involve both operations.
 For struggling students: Provide additional hands-on practice with counters or objects
to model multiplication and division problems visually.

Reflection (Post-Lesson):

After the lesson, reflect on the following:

 Were students able to grasp the relationship between multiplication and division?
 Did they engage with the hands-on practice effectively?
 How can I adjust the pacing or materials for future lessons based on their responses?

Feel free to modify any part of this to fit the needs of your class! Would you like additional ideas
for practice activities or resources?
