Multiplication Lesson Plans

Second graders review the multiplication facts and play a game to test their skills.  In this Multiplication Bingo lesson, 2nd graders listen to number problems and solve them to cover spaces.  Students take an online quiz.

Fourth graders explore problem solving methods for two digit multiplication. For this multiplication lesson, 4th graders investigate traditional multiplication methods and compare those with lattice multiplication and partial products multiplication. Resources are provided.

Students explore 2-digit multiplication. In this 2-digit multiplication math lesson plan, students work in groups to build models of 2-digit multiplication using base 10 manipulatives. Students construct rectangles replacing standard numbers with their place value equivalent using the blocks. Students relate their rectangles to the traditional written multiplication algorithm.

Students look at repeating addition examples and view how they can be written as multiplication.  In this multiplication lesson, students use manipulatives to complete a repeating addition lesson and show it on graph paper.  Students chart what they have found and discuss patterns.

Fifth graders practice multiplication and division facts while completing a pumpkin coloring sheet.  In this multiplication and division lesson, 5th graders color based on the answers and the color key.  

Students practice their multiplication facts by reinforcement and repetition. Students write facts in their math journals, and use labeled soccer ball and deck of cards to practice multiplying by "number of the day." Play continues until all students have turns and/or collect most playing cards.

Young scholars practice multiplication "problem solving" with word problem strips in connection with math boxes and counting cubes. The concept of repeated addition is introduced to the students. They form a variety of assessment groups to form various examples for all the young scholars to process.

Third graders explore multiplication facts. In this multiplication instructional activity, 3rd graders examine methods for memorizing multiplication facts as they discuss and attempt 2 methods and play a multiplication game.

Students investigate multiplication. In this multiplication strategies lesson plan, students discover the connection between multiplication and repeated addition. Students work collaboratively with arrays and repeated addition while studying zoo animals. Resources are provided.

Students study multiplication strategies. In this multiplication lesson, students investigate multiplication problem solving strategies. Students work with base 10 blocks to decompose problems with a Merlin the Magician theme. Multiple resources are provided.
