Lesson Plan

1Opening (5 min)

Begin by reviewing the days of creation, connecting each day to a mathematical concept

💭 Review Question: Can you remember what God created on each of the six days?
2Teaching (12 min)

Explore multiplication of 6 through skip counting and biblical connections

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Skip counting by 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
  • Relate skip counting to the orderliness of creation
  • Use the BibleMouse multiplication chart to visualize 6s
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • How does God's perfect planning in creation remind us of mathematical patterns?
  • What patterns do you see in the multiplication of 6?
3Activity: Creation Multiplication Exploration (14 min)
hands-on learning

Create a visual representation of 6s multiplication using counters or drawing arrays

📝 Instructions:
  1. Divide grid paper into 6 equal sections
  2. Create arrays showing 6 × 1, 6 × 2, 6 × 3, 6 × 4, 6 × 5, 6 × 6
  3. Decorate each array with a small drawing representing a day of creation
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Use fewer multiplication facts or pre-drawn grid

Challenge: Create a multiplication book of the six days of creation

4Closing (4 min)

Review multiplication facts and creation connection

📝 Review Questions:
  • What did we learn about multiplication today?
  • How can we see God's design in mathematical patterns?

Coming up: Tomorrow we'll create array art to further explore multiplication
