Lesson: Multiplying Numbers Using a Number Line Mathematics • 3rd Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to skip count on a number line to solve multiplication equations within times tables up to 100 and write equations matching jumps on a number line.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

use a number line to count in equal groups,
draw jumps to skip count on a number line,
write a multiplication equation to represent jumps on a number line,
use a number line to find a product or the factors of a multiplication equation.

Lesson Worksheet

Q1:

A spider has 8 legs.

Which model shows how many legs 3 spiders have?

Q2:

If a zebra has 4 legs, how many legs do 2, 3, and 4 zebras have?

Q3:

We can multiply by 8 by making jumps on the number line.

Make 1 jump of 8. What is the result?
