Lesson Plan: Multiplication Using Skip Counting Technique

Group 1
Grade Level: 4
Subject: Mathematics
Topic: Multiplication through Skip Counting
Duration: 1 hour
Objective:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

1. Multiply numbers up to 10 using the skip counting technique.


2. Demonstrate skip counting on a number line.
3. Solve word problems involving multiplication through skip counting.
I. Learning Objectives

• Cognitive: Multiply numbers using skip counting.


• Psychomotor: Use a number line to skip count.
• Affective: Show enjoyment and confidence in solving multiplication problems.

II. Materials
• Number lines (printed or drawn on the board).
• Multiplication charts.
• Flashcards with multiplication problems.
• Counters (buttons, coins, or blocks).
• Worksheet for practice exercises.

III. Lesson Proper

A. Introduction (10 minutes)


1. Motivation:
• Ask: “Have you ever counted objects quickly by skipping some numbers?”
• Show examples of counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s.
2. Objective Setting:
• Explain that today’s lesson will focus on using skip counting to solve multiplication
problems easily.
B. Presentation (15 minutes)

1. Concept Development:
• Write 3 x 4 on the board.
• Explain that this means adding 3, four times (3 + 3 + 3 + 3).
• Instead of adding repeatedly, we can skip count by 3s: 3, 6, 9, 12.
• Highlight that the answer is 12.
2. Using a Number Line:
• Draw a number line from 0 to 30.
• Demonstrate 4 x 5 by jumping in intervals of 5 (0 → 5 → 10 → 15 → 20).
• Emphasize that skip counting leads to the same result as multiplication.

C. Guided Practice (15 minutes)

• Activity:
• Give students number lines and have them solve problems such as 6 x 3 and 5 x 4 using
skip counting.
• Group Work:
• In pairs, students pick flashcards with problems and solve them by skip counting aloud.

D. Independent Practice (10 minutes)

• Distribute worksheets with multiplication problems.


• Ask students to solve them using the skip counting method.
• Example problems:
• 2x7
• 3x6
• 4x8

E. Reflection and Assessment (10 minutes)


• Oral Recap: Ask students to share how skip counting helped them in solving the
problems.
• Quick Quiz: Give 3 problems for students to solve on their own.
• Assignment:
• Practice skip counting by 6s, 7s, and 8s at home and solve three multiplication problems
using this method.

IV. Assessment Criteria

• Accuracy in skip counting: 40%


• Correct use of number lines: 30%
• Completion of practice tasks: 30%

V. Differentiation and Support Strategies

• For Struggling Learners: Provide additional practice with smaller numbers (2s, 3s).
• For Advanced Learners: Challenge them with higher numbers and word problems.
