Introduction

  • Work on the board:

Mental Mathematical Strategies to Multiply Numbers

  • Ask the students, how can we solve this question mentally?
  • Collect their feedback and tell them that with the help of multiplication table, we can solve it.
  • Ask the students to say multiplication table of 4 loudly.

Mental Mathematical Strategies to Multiply Numbers

  • Ask the students to stop the table, when the number ‘20’ comes.
  • On completion, write on the board: 4 times 5 = 20, 4 x 5 = 20
