Lesson Plan: Number, Money, and Measure - Equal Groups

Subject: Mathematics Topic: Number, Money, and Measure Curriculum Level: First Level (Scottish Curriculum) Desired Outcome: I can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division when solving problems, making the best use of the mental strategies and written skills I have developed.

Focus: Equal Groups

Lesson Duration: 60 minutes

Resources: - Whiteboard or blackboard - Markers or chalk - Worksheets with equal groups problems - Counters or small objects (e.g., buttons, cubes, etc.) - Money manipulatives (coins and notes)

Introduction (10 minutes): 1. Begin the lesson by asking the students if they know what equal groups are. 2. Discuss with the students the concept of equal groups, explaining that it means having the same number of objects in each group. 3. Write the term “equal groups” on the board and ask the students to copy it into their notebooks. 4. Show the students some examples of equal groups using counters or small objects. For example, display two groups of three counters each and ask if they are equal groups.

Development (30 minutes): 1. Introduce the concept of using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve problems involving equal groups. 2. Explain that addition is used to find the total number of objects in equal groups, while subtraction is used to find the missing number of objects. 3. Demonstrate how to use multiplication to find the total number of objects in equal groups quickly. For example, if there are 4 equal groups of 3 objects each, the total number of objects can be found by multiplying 4 by 3. 4. Show the students how to use division to find the number of objects in each equal group. For example, if there are 12 objects in total and they are divided into 4 equal groups, each group will have 3 objects. 5. Provide the students with worksheets containing problems involving equal groups. Allow them to work individually or in pairs to solve the problems using the appropriate operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division). 6. Circulate around the classroom, providing support and guidance to students as needed.

Conclusion (15 minutes): 1. Bring the class back together and review the solutions to the problems on the worksheets. 2. Ask the students to share their strategies for solving the problems and discuss the most efficient methods. 3. Summarize the lesson by emphasizing the importance of using mental strategies and written skills to solve problems involving equal groups. 4. Assign additional practice exercises or homework to reinforce the concept of equal groups and the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Assessment: 1. Observe students’ participation and engagement during class discussions and activities. 2. Review students’ completed worksheets to assess their understanding of using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division when solving problems involving equal groups. 3. Provide feedback and support to students as needed.

Write “equal groups” on the board and ask the students to copy it into their notebooks. 4. Show examples of equal groups using counters or small objects. 5. Ask the students if they think the groups have the same number of objects.

Development (30 minutes): 1. Explain that we can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve problems with equal groups. 2. Addition helps us find the total number of objects in equal groups. 3. Subtraction helps us find the missing number of objects in equal groups. 4. Multiplication helps us find the total number of objects in equal groups quickly. For example, if there are 4 equal groups of 3 objects each, we can multiply 4 by 3 to find the total number of objects. 5. Division helps us find the number of objects in each equal group. For example, if there are 12 objects in total and they are divided into 4 equal groups, each group will have 3 objects. 6. Give the students problems involving equal groups to solve using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. 7. Allow the students to work individually or in pairs to solve the problems. 8. Provide support and guidance to students as needed.
