LESSON PLAN

Subject: Mathematics
Class: Grade IV
Lecture Numbers: 7 units in a week
Date of Delivery: 4th Sep – 22th Sep 2023
Topic: Multiplication and Division
Sub-Topic:
 Factors
 Multiples
 Multiplying by a 1 digit number
 Multiplying by a 2 digit number
 Dividing by a 1 digit number

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Identify factors of a given number.
• Recognize that every number has at least two factors: 1 and itself.
• Differentiate between prime numbers and composite numbers
• use multiplication and division to find the factors of a number,

STUDENTS LEARNING OUTCOMES:


• find and count all the factors of a number,
• List factors for specific numbers.
• Differentiate between prime numbers and composite numbers.
• Identify prime numbers up to a certain range (e.g., up to 50).

REQUISTES/ LINKAGE WITH PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:


Knowledge of Whole Numbers:
 Before diving into factors, students should have a solid understanding of whole numbers,
including how to count, add, subtract, and multiply them.
2. Multiplication and Division Skills:
 A strong foundation in multiplication and division is crucial. Students should be
comfortable with multiplication tables.
METHODOLOGY:
Introduction:
1. Begin by writing a number on the whiteboard or chalkboard (e.g., 12) and ask the
students, "What do you think we can learn about this number today?"
2. Explain that today's lesson is all about factors. Define a factor as a number that can be
multiplied to get the given number. For example, factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12
because they can be multiplied to equal 12.

1. Review Basic Multiplication:


 Begin by reviewing basic multiplication facts (e.g., 2 x 3 = 6, 4 x 5 = 20). Make sure
students are comfortable with multiplication.
2. Introduction to Factors:
 Introduce the concept of factors as numbers that can be multiplied together to get a
specific product. For example, factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

7. Finding Factors:
 Show students how to systematically find factors by dividing a number by smaller
numbers and recording the pairs of factors.
8. Relate to Multiplication:
 Bridge factors to multiplication by explaining that factors are closely related to
multiplication. For instance, if 2 and 3 are factors of 6, then 2 x 3 = 6.
9. Factor Pairs:
 Emphasize the concept of factor pairs, where two numbers multiply to give a particular
product. For example, for 12, the factor pairs are (1, 12), (2, 6), and (3, 4).

4. Connection to Factors:
 Show students that when they multiply a number by 1, they are essentially finding a
factor of that number. For example, when multiplying 7 by 1 (7 x 1), they are finding the
factor 1 of 7.
5. Factors of 1 and 2-Digit Numbers:
 Explore how factors are related to multiplication by 1 and 2-digit numbers. For instance:
 Factors of 4 include 1 and 4 (4 x 1 and 2 x 2).
 Factors of 8 include 1, 2, 4, and 8 (8 x 1, 4 x 2, 2 x 4, and 1 x 8).
6. Finding Factors Using Multiplication:
 Teach students that they can use multiplication to find factors of numbers. For example,
to find factors of 12, they can start with 1 x 12 and continue to multiply in order (1 x 12,
2 x 6, 3 x 4) until they reach the number itself.
7. Multiplication Tables:
 Highlight that multiplication tables are a systematic way of listing factors of numbers.
For example, the 3 times table helps identify factors of numbers that are multiples of 3.

4. Prime and Composite Numbers:


 After students have a good grasp of factors, introduce the concepts of prime and
composite numbers.
 Teach the difference between prime and composite numbers. Prime numbers have only
two factors (1 and themselves), while composite numbers have more than two factors.
 Ask students to identify examples of each.
8. Review and Application (10 minutes):
 Review what factors are and how to find them. Encourage students to share any strategies
they've developed.

INTEGRATION WITH OTHER SUBJECTS:

ACTIVITY:
Factor Pairs Memory Game:
 Create a set of cards with numbers on them. For each number, create two matching cards.
On one card, write the number itself, and on the other card, write its factors.
 Students take turns flipping over two cards. If they match a number with its factors, they
get to keep the pair. The goal is to collect the most pairs.
 This game improves memory and reinforces the relationship between numbers and their
factors.
CONCLUSION:
Summarize the key points of the lesson: What are factors? How do we find factors of a number?
Ask the students if they have any questions or if there's anything they'd like to share about
factors.

NOTES:

Let’s look at factors and multiples in an equation.

What is a factor ?

FACTOR :

 Factors are whole numbers that can be multiplied together to give a specific number.

 Factors are pairs of numbers that, when multiplied, equal another number.

 Factors are related to multiplication. They are the building blocks used in multiplication.
Factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

● The first factor of every number greater than 0 is 1.

● Factors never go beyond the number you are finding factors for.
Factors of 30 are 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30

What is a factor pair ?

-Factor pair of a number is two numbers that you can multiply together to get the target number.

For example…

What are the factor pairs for 32?


Answer: 1&32, 2&16, 4&8 are the factor pairs for 32.

What is a prime number ?

PRIME NUMBER

Prime number: When we talk of prime numbers we define them to be a whole number greater than 1
with exactly two factors, 1 and itself. Each prime number is only divisible by 1 and itself.

For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, etc. are prime numbers.
What is a composite number ?

NOTE: 1 is neither Prime nor composite number

Composite numbers: Composite numbers are a group of whole numbers that are greater than 1 with
more than two factors.

For example, 4, 6, 8, 10, 30, 100, etc. are composite numbers. Each composite number can be divided
by 1, by itself and at least one other number.
How to Find a Number that is Prime or Composite?.

First, we need to find whether the number is even or odd. If the number is observed to be even and
greater than 2, then it is considered to be a composite number.
