This document provides information for a lesson plan to teach basic multiplication facts to a Standard 1 class of about 20 seven-year-olds. The lesson will last 10-15 minutes and introduce multiplication as repeated addition using manipulatives like crown corks and coins. A PowerPoint presentation with examples in the two times table will be shown. Students will then complete a worksheet and short evaluation of their new understanding that multiplication is the grouping of sets of objects.

1. COURSE ASSIGNMENT:
Teaching of Basic Multiplication Facts.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Educational (Instructional) Technology influences the
mathematics that is taught and enhances students learning
by use of current technological strategies and software in
the classroom. Based on several theories from the
behaviorist (Directed, B. F. Skinner),constructivist or
Non- Directed (Stages of development, Jean Piaget) and
Technology Integration Strategies (combination of both
theoretical views).

3. INTRODUCTION
The integration of Instructional Technology within the
mathematical curriculum has proven to be an effective
device as it allows a large group of children to interact
with the teacher, the subject and one another (by use of a
projector).

5. Teaching of Basic Multiplication
Facts
 SET INDUCTION: Students will be given a variety
of manipulatives and asked to pair them off in
groups of twos, therefore allowing them to
discover in a concrete manner that multiplication
is repeated addition by adding each group of twos
that they make.

6. Teaching of Basic Multiplication
Facts
 PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:
In previous classes Students should have
experienced the knowledge of basic addition thus
enhancing the students ability to empower
themselves to recognize that multiplication is
repeated addition.

7. Teaching of Basic Multiplication
Facts
 OBJECTIVES:
 By the end of the lesson:
 Cognitive: Students would be able to identify the
multiplication symbol and its purpose
 Affective: Appreciate the role of simple
multiplication tasks in everyday life

8. Teaching of Basic Multiplication
Facts
 TEACHING AIDS/RESOURCES: Students will be
using a variety of manipulatives (crown corks,
coins, marbles.) to identify the basic concept of
multiplication. Teacher will present the lesson
using a PowerPoint format with a projector.
A multiplication worksheet in the two times table
will be given to them.

9. Teaching of Basic Multiplication
Facts
 EVALUATION: Students will be required to
complete a simple evaluation at the end of the
class which is on the handout that they will be
given.
