Planning notes for this lesson

Prerequisite skills to check: skip-counting by 2s, 5s and 10s; adding equal groups (repeated addition); arranging objects in rows and columns (2.OA.C.4).

Key vocabulary: factor, product, array, row, column, equal groups.

Warm-up idea: Show a tray of muffins or a sheet of stickers and ask how to count them without counting one by one.

Exit ticket idea: Students draw an array for 4 × 6, write the matching equation, and explain why 6 × 4 has the same product.

Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
