Problem 1: Skip Count to Find
the Total Number of Objects
1. 10 students come to the front of the
room!
2. How many arms do you have?
3. Let’s skip count by 2’s. To keep track of
our counting raise your arms over your
head when we count them!
4. How many raised arms did we count?
5. How many twos did we count to get the
total?
6. What did you count to find the number of
twos?

Problem 2: Understand the relationship between
repeated addition, counting groups in unit form, and
multiplication equations.
You have 12 counters.
Make equal groups of two.
How many groups did you make?6 Equal
Groups
of 2
Counters
How many
counters
all
together?
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
9. 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12
6 twos = 12
6 x 2 = 12
Ways that are easier and faster
are efficient. When we have
equal groups, multiplication is a
more efficient way of showing
the total than repeated
addition.
These number
sentences are all
saying the same
thing.

multiplication equations.
10. These are equal groups. Turn and tell
your partner why they are equal.

Problem 3: Write multiplication
sentences from equal groups.
11. Concept Development – (30 Min.)
Problem 3: Write multiplication sentences
from equal groups.
3 x 4 = 12
Check my work by
writing an addition
sentence.
Use your addition sentence to discuss why you
agree or disagree with my work.
I hear most students disagreeing because my groups
are not equal. True, to multiply you must have equal
groups.
12. Problem Set
(10 Min.)
You have 10 minutes to complete the problem
set pages.
Debrief
(10 Min.)
Let’s review your solutions for the problem set.
