Introduction

Duration: 10 - 15 minutes

This stage of the lesson plan aims to introduce students to the concepts of multiplication by 2, 3, 4, and 5, emphasizing the importance of these operations in everyday contexts and in the job market. By developing practical multiplication skills, students will be better prepared to solve mathematical problems and apply this knowledge in activities that require quick and accurate calculations.

Contextualization

Multiplying is a fundamental skill we use in various everyday situations, from calculating the amount of ingredients needed for a recipe to equally dividing toys among friends. Understanding multiplication by 2, 3, 4, and 5 is essential for solving practical problems and making quick and efficient decisions.

Curiosities and Market Connection

Did you know that multiplication is used in many professions? For example, chefs often multiply ingredients to adjust recipes, engineers use multiplication in structural calculations, and merchants need to multiply prices to calculate discounts and promotions. These simple operations are the foundation for many activities in the job market!

Initial Activity

Start the lesson with a provoking question: 'Who here has ever needed to multiply something at home or at school?'. Then show a short video (2-3 minutes) that illustrates everyday situations where multiplication is necessary, such as shopping or preparing a recipe.

Development

Duration: 50 - 60 minutes

This stage of the lesson plan aims to deepen students' understanding of multiplication by 2, 3, 4, and 5, providing practical experiences and challenges that encourage the application of acquired knowledge. By completing this stage, students will be more confident in solving problems that involve multiplication and will understand the relevance of these operations in everyday life and the job market.

Covered Topics

1. Understanding the multiplication tables for 2, 3, 4, and 5
2. Practical application of multiplication in everyday situations
3. Solving problems using multiplication
4. Exploration of patterns in multiplications

Reflections on the Theme

Guide students to reflect on how multiplication facilitates everyday situations, such as equally dividing candies among friends or calculating the total points in a game. Ask: 'What would our life be like without multiplication? What kind of problems would we face?'

Mini Challenge

Maker Challenge: Toy Store

Students will be challenged to create a small fictional toy store where they will need to calculate stock and prices using multiplication.

Instructions

1. Divide students into groups of 3-4.
2. Provide paper, pencils, and calculators for each group.
3. Explain that each group will be a toy store that needs to organize stock and calculate prices.
4. Give a list of toys with quantities and unit prices (for example, 3 dolls at $5 each, 4 cars at $3 each, etc.).
5. Students must multiply the quantities by the prices to find the total value of each item.
6. Ask each group to present their calculations and discuss how they arrived at the results.

Objective: Develop practical multiplication skills and apply this knowledge in a realistic scenario that simulates a market environment.

Duration: 30 - 35 minutes

Evaluation Exercises

1. Multiply 4 by 2 and write down the answer.
2. If you have 5 packs of stickers, each with 3 stickers, how many stickers do you have in total?
3. Calculate the result of 3 x 4.
4. John has 2 boxes with 5 toys in each. How many toys does John have in total?
5. Solve: 10 x 2

Conclusion

Duration: 10 - 15 minutes

The purpose of this stage of the lesson plan is to consolidate the knowledge acquired by students, providing a moment of reflection and discussion about the practical application of multiplication. By summarizing the contents and promoting a discussion, students will be able to better internalize the concepts and perceive the importance of what they learned for their daily lives and future professional activities.

Discussion

Promote a group discussion where students can share their experiences during the maker challenge and the fixation exercises. Ask: 'What did you find easiest or hardest about multiplication? How do you think these skills can be useful in everyday life?'. Encourage students to reflect on how multiplication was used in the activities and how they could apply this knowledge in other practical situations.

Summary

Summarize the main concepts covered during the lesson, emphasizing the multiplication tables for 2, 3, 4, and 5. Remind students of the practical situations where they used multiplication, such as in the toy store challenge and the fixation exercises. Recap the strategies and methods used to facilitate multiplication.

Closing

Explain to students the importance of multiplication in daily life and in the job market. Highlight how the ability to multiply quickly can help in daily tasks, such as shopping, preparing recipes, and managing resources. Conclude the lesson by reinforcing the relevance of learning and encouraging students to practice multiplication in their daily activities.
