SAMPLE LESSON
Topic: Multiplication

In this lesson, students will learn their 2 facts. We will begin by skip-counting by 2's. Then we will use cereal or beads to create equal groups and use repeated addition to help us multiply. Students will draw models to illustrate their thinking. Following that we will play a game and make a "cootie catcher" to practice multiplying by 2.
