Today’s Adventure: Multiplying by 5! – Multiplication as fast addition – Instead of adding 5 five times, we can multiply 5 x 5. – Multiplying numbers by 5 – 5 times any number is like adding that number 5 times. – Patterns in multiplying by 5 – Numbers ending in 0 or 5 when we multiply by 5. – Why multiplication matters – It helps us solve problems quickly and efficiently. | Begin the lesson by explaining multiplication as a method of repeated addition, which makes counting faster and easier. Show that multiplying by 5 is the same as adding a number five times. Highlight the pattern that results when we multiply numbers by 5, typically ending in 0 or 5, which makes it easier to remember. Emphasize the importance of multiplication as a fundamental skill in math that enables us to solve problems more efficiently. Use examples like 5 x 2 = 10 and 5 x 3 = 15 to illustrate these points. Encourage students to look for patterns and use them to check their work.

Understanding Multiplication: Multiply by 5 – Multiplication: fast track to addition – Example: 5 times 2 equals 10 – Same as adding 5 twice: 5 + 5 – Multiplying by 5 is quick! – Instead of adding 5 over and over, we can multiply to find the answer faster. – Practice with different numbers – Try 5 times 3, 5 times 4, and so on to see the pattern! | This slide introduces the concept of multiplication as a method for adding the same number quickly. Use the example of 5 times 2 to show that it’s the same as adding 5 twice, which equals 10. Emphasize that multiplication is a shortcut for addition when dealing with multiple groups of the same number. Encourage students to practice multiplying by 5 with different numbers to understand the pattern and gain fluency in this skill. Activities can include using objects to count in groups of 5, skip counting by 5s, and solving multiplication problems on a number line.

The Magic of Multiplying by 5 – Multiplying by 5 patterns – Notice how 5, 10, 15, 20… all have a pattern? – Products end with 0 or 5 – Like 5×2=10 and 5×3=15, see the pattern in the last digit? – Skip count by 5 for answers – Just like hopscotch, jump 5 steps to get the next number! | This slide introduces the concept of multiplication by 5, highlighting the patterns that emerge. Emphasize that when we multiply any number by 5, the result will always end in either 0 or 5. This is a key pattern that can help students check their work for accuracy. Encourage students to practice skip counting by 5 as a strategy to quickly find the answers to multiplication problems. For example, if they know 5×4 is 20, then 5×5 is just 5 more, which is 25. Use a number line in class to visually demonstrate skip counting by 5s. This will help solidify the concept and prepare them for more complex multiplication.

Let’s Practice Multiplying by 5! – Solve: 5 x 3, 5 x 6, 5 x 9 – What do you get when you multiply 5 by 3, 6, and 9? – Count by 5s: 5, 10, 15… – Practice counting in 5s to help with multiplication – Pair up for group activity – Solve together: 5 x 4, 5 x 7 – Work with a friend to find the answers | This slide is designed to engage students in practicing multiplication by 5 through both individual and group activities. Start by having students solve the multiplication problems 5 x 3, 5 x 6, and 5 x 9 on their own to assess their understanding. Then, lead the class in counting by 5s to reinforce the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. For the group activity, have students pair up and work together to solve 5 x 4 and 5 x 7, encouraging collaboration and peer learning. As a teacher, circulate the room to provide assistance and ensure that each student is participating and grasping the concept. Prepare to offer hints or strategies as needed, such as using fingers to count by 5s or visualizing groups of 5 objects. The goal is to build confidence and fluency in multiplying by 5.

Multiplying by 5 with Real Objects – Visualize multiplication with objects – Use fingers for counting by fives – Hold up 5 fingers, then another 5, and so on – Group pencils in sets of 5 – Arrange pencils in groups to see the total count – Count coins in multiples of 5 – Practice with nickels to understand the concept | This slide is aimed at helping third-grade students understand the concept of multiplication by using tangible objects they are familiar with. Start by explaining that multiplication is a way to add the same number several times. Show them how to use their fingers to count by fives, which is a practical and accessible method. Then, move on to grouping pencils in sets of five to visualize the multiplication process. Finally, use coins, such as nickels, to demonstrate how counting by fives can be applied to money. Encourage the students to touch and move the objects as they count, reinforcing the tactile learning experience. The class demonstration should be interactive, allowing students to participate and practice the grouping themselves.
