Learning Objectives

1

Understand and generate multiples of whole numbers

2

Recognize patterns in skip counting

3

Develop mathematical thinking with joy and curiosity

📖 Scripture Connection

Psalm 119:18

“Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law.”

— Psalm 119:18 (WEB)

Just as we discover patterns in multiples, we can discover wonderful patterns in God's Word

Lesson Plan

1Opening (5 min)

Skip counting game using number cards, connecting to previous lessons on factors

💭 Review Question: What did we learn about factor pairs yesterday?
2Teaching (12 min)

Introduce multiples using visual skip counting demonstrations

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Multiples are numbers we get by multiplying a number by whole numbers
  • Skip counting shows us multiples naturally
  • Every multiple tells a story of repeated addition
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What patterns do you see when we count by 3s?
