COURSE ASSIGNMENT:Teaching of Basic Multiplication

Facts.

THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL:

THE EARLY YEARS

INTRODUCTIONEducational (Instructional) Technology influences the

mathematics that is taught and enhances students learning by use of current technological strategies and software in the classroom. Based on several theories from the behaviorist (Directed, B. F. Skinner),constructivist or Non- Directed (Stages of development, Jean Piaget) and Technology Integration Strategies (combination of both theoretical views).

INTRODUCTION The integration of Instructional Technology within the

mathematical curriculum has proven to be an effective device as it allows a large group of children to interact with the teacher, the subject and one another (by use of a projector).

Teaching of Basic Multiplication FactsSUBJECT: MathematicsTOPIC: Multiplication TablesDURATION OF LESSON: 10-15 minsCLASS: Standard one AVERAGE AGE: 7 yearsNO. IN CLASS: 20

Teaching of Basic Multiplication FactsSET INDUCTION: Students will be given

a variety of manipulatives and asked to pair them off in groups of twos, therefore allowing them to discover in a concrete manner that multiplication is repeated addition by adding each group of twos that they make.

Teaching of Basic Multiplication FactsPREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: In previous classes Students should

have experienced the knowledge of basic addition thus enhancing the students ability to empower themselves to recognize that multiplication is repeated addition.

Teaching of Basic Multiplication FactsOBJECTIVES: By the end of the lesson:Cognitive: Students would be able to

identify the multiplication symbol and its purpose

Affective: Appreciate the role of simple multiplication tasks in everyday life

Teaching of Basic Multiplication FactsTEACHING AIDS/RESOURCES: Students

will be using a variety of manipulatives (crown corks, coins, marbles.) to identify the basic concept of multiplication. Teacher will present the lesson using a PowerPoint format with a projector.

A multiplication worksheet in the two times table will be given to them.

Teaching of Basic Multiplication FactsEVALUATION: Students will be required

to complete a simple evaluation at the end of the class which is on the handout that they will be given.
