DBE textbook (LB and TG), DBE workbook
3. RESOURCES:
In term 1 the learners learnt:
4. PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: Multiples of 1-digit whole numbers to at least 100
5. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF HOMEWORK (suggested time: 10 minutes)
Homework provides an opportunity for teachers to track learners’ progress in the mastery of mathematics
concepts and to identify the problematic areas which require immediate attention. Therefore it is
recommended that you place more focus on addressing errors from learner responses that may later
become misconceptions.
6. MENTAL MATHEMATICS (10 minutes)
Learners should answer the following questions as fast and accurate as they can.
Questions on multiples of ten, one hundred and one thousand.
7. LESSON PRESENTATION/DEVELOPMENT (Suggested time: 20 minutes)
Learning activities
Teaching activities (Learners are expected to:
In this lesson learners are going to learn about multiples.
Revise with the learners that multiples are the result when two
numbers are multiplied by each other.
Example 3 x 5 = 15. This means that 15 is a multiple of 3 and 5.
Work together with the educator.
Open and complete as a class. Remember to discuss the
importance of times tables. If you don’t know your times tables
you will not be able to calculate or identify the multiples correctly.
Write the following on the board.
What are the multiples of 3 between 72 and 89?
Let the learners work in pairs to answer this question and mark as Work together in pairs..
a whole class.
Answer: 75, 78, 81, 84, 87
Do a few more examples
8. CLASSWORK (Suggested time: 15 minutes)
Learners should complete the following activity using the method they were taught in class.
DBE Workbook 1: Worksheet 44a question 1-2 (pages 128)
Learners should individually calculate.
a. Write down the multiples of 3 from 674 to 683.
b. Write down the multiples of 5 between 918 and 933.

Homework
The primary purpose of Homework is to give each learner an opportunity to demonstrate
mastery of mathematics skills taught in class. Therefore Homework should be purposeful and
the principle of ‘Less is more’ is recommended, i.e. give learners few high quality activities that
address variety of skills than many activities that do not enhance learners’ conceptual
understanding.
Carefully select appropriate activities from the DBE textbook, DBE workbook and/or any other
textbook for learners’ homework. The selected activities should address different cognitive
levels.
