The Lesson Guides in Elementary Mathematics were developed by the

Department of Education through the Bureau of Elementary Education in
coordination with the Ateneo de Manila University.

These resource materials

have been purposely prepared to help improve the mathematics instruction in

the elementary grades. These provide integration of values and life skills using
different teaching strategies for an interactive teaching/learning process.
Multiple intelligences techniques like games, puzzles, songs, etc. are also
integrated in each lesson; hence, learning Mathematics becomes fun and
enjoyable. Furthermore, Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) activities are
incorporated in the lessons.

The

skills are

consistent

with

the

Basic

Education

Curriculum

(BEC)/Philippine Elementary Learning Competencies (PELC). These should be

used by the teachers as a guide in their day-to-day teaching plans.

Ask: How many groups of 4 did you get?
Give the multiplication sentence.
This time, have the pupils group the counters by 2s
Ask: How many groups of 2s did you get?
What is the multiplication sentence for this?
Guide the pupils to analyze the number sentence on the board.
a.) 2 x 4 = 8
b.) 4 x 2 = 8
What are the factors of 8? Which factor comes first in sentence a, 2 or 4? How
about in sentence b? What did we do to the order of the factors? Did the product
change?

Mang Tony prepared 2 groups of sugarcane seedlings for his plantation. Each group had
seedlings. He cut each seedling into 3 pieces. How many pieces were there in all?

Sometimes a number pattern can help when we multiply three or more numbers.

16

16 x 3 = 48
(2 x 8) x 3 = 48 thirds of sugar cane seedlings
2 x (8 x 3) = 48 thirds of sugar cane seedlings

24
Give more examples:
(4 x 2) x 3 = 24
(6 x 3) x 2 = 36
(5 x 3) x 3 = 45

24 x 2 = 48

4 x (2 x 3) = 24
6 x (3 x 2) = 36
5 x (3 x 3) = 45

2. Guided Practice
a. Write two multiplication sentences for the following.
4 sets of 3

a. Present this problem
Andres Bonifacio Elementary School received 12 boxes of toys from the
governor of the province. Each box had 24 assorted toys. How many toys were there in
all?
Let us analyze the problem

Understand the problem

What is asked in the problem? Number of toys in all.
What are given? 12 boxes of toys, 24 assorted toys.
What process will you use? Multiplication.

Plan
What is the number sentence? What is your answer?
Did you do it this way?
12 x 24 = N

24=
x 12=

20 + 4
10 + 2

Carry out the plan

Tell the pupils that the following solutions used expanded notation.
Step 1:
20 + 4
x 10 + 2
40 + 8
2x4=8
2 x 20 = 40

Step 2:
20 + 4
x 10 + 2
200 + 40
10 x 4 = 40
10 x 20 = 200

Step 3:
24 = 20 + 4
x 12 = 10 + 2
40 + 8
+ 200 + 40
240 + 48
= 288 toy planes

sentences.
Why is it necessary to be accurate in solving any problem?
1. Get a partner.
2. Pretend you are cousins who live in the same house. Your grandmother is sick. You
are asked to bring food to her. Just like Little Red Riding Hood, you will meet lots of
danger and obstacles along the way. These obstacles are in the form of multiplication
exercises like the ones below.
3. Cut and place them on the table upside down. Take turns with your partner in picking
up a card.
4. Answer the problem in the card. If you get the correct answer, you will move one step
forward towards grandmas house.
5. If your answer is wrong, you will move one step backward. Use a marker to indicate
your position. Let us see who can deliver the food to grandma.

How many zeros are there in 12 tens? 12 x 10 = 120

How many zeros are there in 10? (1)
What did you do with zero?
12
x 10
120

or

12 x 10 = 120

(Do the same process/procedure in the remaining numbers in the number line?)
d. Error Analysis For some exercises, some pupils might do this:
20 x 5 = 10
Have pupils who made this error look first at the product to see if it made sense.
Ask: Can 5 twenties be equal to 10? (No)
Then have the pupils concentrate first on the product of 5 and 2 (10), then on writing the
correct number of zeros after the product.
2. Guided Practice
a. Divide the class into 3 groups. Let each group do the following:
Look for the hidden message by solving each problem. Find the letter in the code that
matches each answer. Write the correct letters in the boxes. (Each group will work

a. How many successive months did the bookstore sell greeting cards?
How many greeting cards were sold in each month?
To find out, estimate the product. Circle the thousands digit in the multiplicand. Round off
the multiplicand to the place value of that digit. Then multiply to estimate the product.

Round off to the nearest thousand.

About 6 000 cards were sold in 3 months. We can also use estimation to check the
answer.
- How many digits does the multiplicand have?
Into what place are you going to round off 2 165?
Do we need to round off 3? Why?
b. Lets try another example.
Aling Cora sells big watermelons in the market every summer. If she can sell 1
023 watermelons in a month, about how many watermelons can she sell in 12 months?
