|---|
| Key vocabulary | factor, product, regroup, partial product |
|---|
| Engage (starter) | "Warm up those multiplication muscles!" |

|---|
| Plenary (close) | Solve 6x347. |
|---|
| Assessment | Correct products with renaming. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Estimate to catch place value slips. |
|---|
Day 2: 2-Digit by 2-Digit
Grade 5 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 1 · 60 min
| Objectives | Multiply 2-digit by 2-digit using the area model and algorithm. |
|---|
| Materials | Grid paper, whiteboards |
|---|
| Key vocabulary | area model, partial products, tens, ones |
|---|
| Engage (starter) | "Break both numbers into tens and ones!" |
|---|
| Develop (main) | Interactive: draw a box model splitting each factor; find and add the four partial products; link to the column algorithm. |
|---|
| Plenary (close) | Solve 34x26. |
|---|
| Assessment | Correct partial products and total. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Model before the algorithm. |
|---|
Day 3: 3-Digit by 2-Digit
Grade 5 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 1 · 60 min
| Objectives | Multiply 3-digit by 2-digit numbers. |
|---|
| Materials | Whiteboards, place value chart |
|---|
| Key vocabulary | multiply, partial product, align |
|---|
| Engage (starter) | "Bigger numbers, same clever steps!" |
|---|
| Develop (main) | Interactive: multiply by the ones, then the tens with a placeholder zero, then add; work one through together. |
|---|
| Plenary (close) | Solve 245x13. |
|---|
| Assessment | Correct steps and product. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Remember the placeholder zero for the tens. |
|---|
Day 4: Estimating and Checking Products
Grade 5 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 1 · 60 min
| Objectives | Estimate products by rounding and check reasonableness. |
|---|
| Materials | Whiteboards |
|---|
| Key vocabulary | estimate, round, reasonable |
|---|
| Engage (starter) | "About how much is 48x21?" |
|---|
| Develop (main) | Interactive: round each factor to estimate; solve exactly; compare the estimate with the answer. |
|---|
| Plenary (close) | Estimate then solve 39x52. |
|---|
| Assessment | Reasonable estimates and checks. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Estimation catches large errors. |
|---|
Day 5: Multiplication Word Problems and Review

| Engage (starter) | "Solve real shopping and packing puzzles!" |
|---|
| Develop (main) | Interactive: rotate through word-problem stations; identify the operation and solve; adapt prices to your local currency. |
|---|
| Plenary (close) | Share your equation. |
|---|
| Assessment | Correct solutions. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Underline what the question asks. |
