Mastering Three Times Tables Fun
Year 4 Mathematics Skip counting by 3s up to 39 Problem solving with multiplication
WALT (We Are Learning To)
Skip count by 3s up to 39 Recall multiplication facts for the 3 times table Apply 3 times table knowledge to solve word problems Use different strategies to multiply by 3
Success Criteria
I can count by 3s from 0 to 39 without mistakes I can quickly recall facts like 3×4=12 I can solve word problems using the 3 times table I can explain my thinking when multiplying by 3
Warm-Up: Skip Counting by 3s
Let's count together: 3, 6, 9, 12... Use your fingers to help Say the numbers out loud Listen for the pattern
What Pattern Do You Notice?
Look at our skip counting sequence What happens to the numbers? Can you predict the next number?
I Do: Understanding 3 Times Tables
3 × 1 = 3 (one group of 3) 3 × 2 = 6 (two groups of 3) 3 × 3 = 9 (three groups of 3) 3 × 4 = 12 (four groups of 3)
We Do: Building Groups of 3
Use your counters to make groups of 3 Start with 2 groups, then 3 groups Count the total in each arrangement Write the multiplication fact
Differentiation Strategies
{"left":"Visual learners: Use colorful manipulatives and charts\nKinesthetic learners: Incorporate movement and hands-on activities\nStudents with autism: Provide visual schedules and clear routines","right":"ADHD support: Break tasks into smaller chunks with frequent breaks\nLow ability: Start with concrete materials before abstract\nHigh ability: Extend to larger numbers and word problems"}
Quick Recall Practice
3 × 5 = ? 3 × 7 = ? 3 × 9 = ? 3 × 6 = ?
You Do: Complete the Pattern
Fill in the missing numbers: 3, 6, __, 12, __, 18 21, __, 27, __, 33 Work independently first, then check with a partner
Real-World Problem Solving
Sarah has 4 packets of stickers Each packet contains 3 stickers How many stickers does Sarah have altogether?
Problem Solving Steps
Read the problem carefully Identify what we know and what we need to find Choose a strategy (drawing, manipulatives, or equation) Solve and check our answer
