Introduction
(5 minutes)- Project the M&M image on the board.
- Ask your students how you can figure out how many M&Ms total you have.
- Give your class a few minutes to think of different strategies.
- React to the answers given by your students. Explain that the fastest way to solve this problem would be to count the number of bags and multiply that number by the number of M&Ms in each bag.
- Ask the class what equation you would use to solve this problem.
- Explain to students that today they'll be learning how to solve multiplication problems that include the number 10.
- Give the class an example of a time that you could use multiplication in a real life scenario. For example: Say you want to go shopping for back to school clothes and want to buy 3 shirts that each cost $10 each. 10 x 3 = 30. Ten times three is the same as three groups of 10.
