Five-minute Multiplication Mastery: An Action Research on Interventions to Impr

ove High School Students’ Proficiency in Multiplication

LEARNING PLAN NO. 1

School: ALANGALANG AGRO INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Date: __________________
Subject: MATHEMATICS 8 Time: _________________

I. OBJECTIVE:

After several activities, the students are expected to enhance students’ ability to memorize
and recall the products of numbers from 1 to 10 with speed and accuracy.

II. RATIONALE:

Fluency in multiplication facts is crucial for success in higher mathematics. Memorizing

these facts frees up cognitive resources for more complex problem solving.

I. SUBJECT MATTER:

1. Topic: Multiplying Whole Numbers

2. References: Mathematics Learner’s Material
3. Materials: Visual Materials, worksheets

Assessment Strategies:
Activity 1: Timed Multiplication Test:
Purpose: To gauge students' overall fluency and speed in recalling multiplication facts. This test
provides a snapshot of their current mastery level.
Procedure:
 Create a test containing all 100 multiplication facts (1 x 1 to 10 x 10), presented in a random
order.
 Students will have a set amount of time (e.g., 5 minutes) to complete as many problems as
possible.
 Provide a clear answer sheet for students to record their answers.
Scoring:

 One point for each correct answer.

 Total score and time taken will be recorded.
Analysis:
 Students scoring 90% or higher within the time limit have likely mastered the facts.
 Students scoring below 70% or taking significantly longer than the average need additional
practice.
 Analyze individual performance to identify specific areas of weakness (e.g., facts involving a
particular number).

Activity 2: Multiplication Fact Fluency Check

Purpose: To pinpoint specific facts that students struggle with and guide targeted practice.
Procedure:
 Prepare short, timed drills focusing on specific multiplication facts.
 Each drill will contain 10 problems involving a single number (e.g., 7 x 1, 7 x 2, 7 x 3, etc.).
 Timer the students as they complete each drill, recording the time taken for each set of 10
problems.
Analysis:
 Analyze the data to identify patterns in areas of strength and weakness.
 For example, if a student consistently takes longer to complete drills involving the number 6,
it indicates a need for focused practice on those facts.

Activity 3: Multiplication Problem-Solving Assessment

Purpose: To assess students' ability to apply their multiplication knowledge in real-world contexts
and solve problems involving multiplication.
Procedure:
 Create a set of word problems that require students to use their multiplication facts.
 The problems will be varied in complexity and involve different real-world scenarios.
 Encourage students to show their work and explain their reasoning.
Analysis:
 Evaluate the accuracy of students' solutions and their ability to demonstrate their
understanding of the problem-solving process.
 Identify students who can successfully apply their multiplication knowledge to solve
problems.
 Determine students who struggle with translating word problems into mathematical equations
or applying their multiplication facts in context.

Analysis:
 Use observations to identify students who are struggling with specific facts, those who are
using effective strategies, and those who require additional support or challenge.

Student Self-Assessment:
Purpose: To empower students to take ownership of their learning and identify areas for
improvement.
Procedure:
 Provide students with self-assessment tools, such as checklists, rubrics, or reflection prompts.
 Encourage them to reflect on their progress, identify areas where they need further practice,
and set goals for improvement.
Analysis:
 Use student self-assessments to guide individual instruction and provide targeted support.
Differentiation:
Support:
 Provide students with multiplication charts or manipulatives to help them visualize the
problems.
 Break down the learning into smaller steps and provide scaffolding to guide students through
the process.
 Use visual aids, such as diagrams, number lines, or arrays, to illustrate multiplication
concepts.
Extension:
 Challenge students to create their own multiplication problems or games.
 Encourage them to explore patterns and relationships within multiplication facts.
 Introduce more complex multiplication problems involving larger numbers or multiple steps.
