Engagement
(9 minutes) a) Presenting the Stimulus
The Cookie Bakery
The teacher introduces a real-world problem:
Multiplication Problem:
I baked 5 trays of cookies. Each tray has 11 cookies. How many cookies do I
have in total?
The teacher writes on the board: 11 × 5 = ?
Guides students through step-by-step problem-solving.
Division Problem:
Now, if I want to share 55 cookies equally among 3 friends, how many does
each get?
The teacher writes on the board: 55 ÷ 3 = ?
Guides students to solve the problem step-by-step.
b) Providing Learning Guidance
The teacher demonstrates how to simplify multiplication into smaller steps by
breaking numbers down:
Example: Splitting 11 into 10 + 1, then multiplying each part by 5.
For division, the teacher explains how to fairly distribute 55 cookies among 3
friends.
Introduces the concept of remainders when division does not result in a whole
number.
c) Materials/Resources
