Multiples Madness: Exploring 3, 4, and 8

Multiples Madness: Exploring 3, 4, and 8

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to identify and understand multiples of 3, 4, and 8.

What do you already know about multiples?

What Are Multiples?

Multiples are the results of multiplying a number by another whole number. For example, the first few multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, and so on.

Multiples of 3

The multiples of 3 are numbers that can be divided evenly by 3. They follow a pattern where each multiple is 3 more than the previous one.

Multiples of 4

The multiples of 4 are numbers that can be divided evenly by 4. They follow a pattern where each multiple is 4 more than the previous one.

Multiples of 8

The multiples of 8 are numbers that can be divided evenly by 8. They follow a pattern where each multiple is 8 more than the previous one.

Finding Multiples

To find the multiples of a number, simply keep adding the number to itself. For example, to find the multiples of 3, keep adding 3 to get the next multiple.

Identifying Patterns

Notice the patterns in the multiples of each number. Can you identify the regular intervals between the multiples?

Practice Time

Now it's time to practice finding multiples of 3, 4, and 8. Work on the exercises provided and ask for help if needed.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
