Breaking Down Multi-Step Problems – Approach multi-step problems – Read carefully, identify what’s being asked – Find numbers to multiply – Look for the two numbers that you’ll multiply – Comprehend the question – Understand what the problem wants you to find – Solve step by step – Tackle each part of the problem one at a time | When teaching students to handle multi-step word problems, start by guiding them to read the problem thoroughly and understand the scenario. Encourage them to underline or highlight the numbers involved and the specific question that needs to be answered. Discuss strategies for identifying the relevant information and disregarding any unnecessary details. Then, demonstrate how to organize their work by solving each part of the problem in a step-by-step manner, ensuring they understand each phase before moving on to the next. Provide examples and practice problems to solidify their understanding.

Let’s Multiply: 1-Digit by 2-Digit Numbers – Multiply single and double digits – Use place value for multiplication – Break down the number 12 into 10 (tens place) and 2 (ones place) – Example: Multiply 4 by 12 – 4 times 12 is like 4 times (10 + 2) – Solve 4 x 12 step by step – We’ll multiply 4 by 10 and 4 by 2, then add the results | This slide introduces students to the concept of multiplying a 1-digit number by a 2-digit number using place value. Start by explaining that multiplication is similar to adding a number to itself multiple times. Emphasize the importance of place value by breaking down the 2-digit number into tens and ones. Use the example of 4 x 12 to show this process in action: multiply 4 by 10 to get 40, then multiply 4 by 2 to get 8, and finally add 40 and 8 to get 48. Encourage students to practice this method with different numbers and provide guidance as needed. This approach helps students understand the logic behind multiplication and prepares them for more complex problems.

Class Practice: Multiplying Numbers – Solve 3 x 24 together – Break it down: 3 x 20 and 3 x 4, then add the results. – Work through 7 x 15 as a class – Start with 7 x 10 and 7 x 5, combine the products. – Discuss steps for solving – Share different solving methods | This slide is aimed at engaging the class in solving multi-step multiplication problems together. Start by demonstrating the process of multiplying a one-digit number by a two-digit number using the examples provided. Encourage students to participate by breaking down the problems into easier steps, such as multiplying the one-digit number by the tens and then by the ones place separately, before adding the two products together. Discuss different methods that can be used to solve these problems, such as the distributive property or drawing an area model. Provide guidance and support as needed, and ensure that each student understands the process before moving on to independent practice.

Multiplying in the Real World: Word Problems – Apply multiplication to real life – Read problems with attention – Example: Lemonade stand sales – If 1 glass costs $2 and you sell 35, how much do you earn? – Step-by-step problem solution – Multiply $2 (1 glass) by 35 (glasses sold) to find total earnings. | This slide aims to help students apply their multiplication skills to solve real-world problems. Emphasize the importance of reading the problem carefully to understand what is being asked. Use the example of a lemonade stand to make the problem relatable. Show how to break down the problem into smaller steps, such as identifying the cost per item and the total number of items, then multiplying these together to find the solution. Encourage students to visualize the problem and write down each step of their solution process. This will help them tackle more complex multi-step word problems with confidence.

Group Activity: Solving Word Problems – Split into groups for word problems – Each group solves a unique problem – Explain your problem-solving steps – Share how you figured out the answer – Discuss various methods used – Compare different strategies and learn from each other | This group activity is designed to encourage collaborative problem-solving and discussion among students. Each group will receive a different multi-step word problem involving the multiplication of 1-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. After solving their assigned problem, they will explain their approach to the class, detailing each step taken to arrive at the solution. This will help students articulate their thought process and reinforce their understanding. Following the presentations, lead a discussion on the different methods used by each group, highlighting the benefits of various strategies.
