Begin by greeting students and introducing the day's topic: multiplying whole numbers and understanding fractions.
Teacher Script: "Good morning, mathematicians! Today, we're going to sharpen our skills in two very important areas: multiplication and fractions. Who can remind me what multiplication is? What about a fraction?"

Review multiplication concepts using visuals and examples.
Teacher Script: "Let's start with multiplication. Remember, multiplication is just a faster way to do repeated addition. If I have 3 groups of 4 apples, how many apples do I have in total?" (Guide students to 3 x 4 = 12).
Work through a few examples together.
Display Slide 2 & 3: Slide Deck: Fraction & Multiply Fun for multiplication examples.

Introduce fractions, explaining what the numerator and denominator represent. Use simple, relatable examples like dividing a pizza or a chocolate bar.
Teacher Script: "Now, let's dive into fractions! A fraction is a way to show parts of a whole. The top number, the numerator, tells us how many parts we have. The bottom number, the denominator, tells us how many parts make up the whole. If I cut a pizza into 8 slices and eat 3, what fraction of the pizza did I eat?" (Guide students to 3/8).
Display Slide 4 & 5: Slide Deck: Fraction & Multiply Fun for fraction explanations and examples.

Distribute the Worksheet: Multiply & Conquer Fractions for independent practice. Circulate around the room to provide support and answer questions.
Teacher Script: "You've all done a great job with our review! Now, it's time to show what you know. I'm handing out a worksheet with both multiplication and fraction problems. Work quietly and independently. If you have a question, raise your hand."
(If students finish early, they can review their answers or draw a picture representing a fraction).

Bring the class back together. Quickly review one multiplication and one fraction problem from the worksheet. Assign the remaining problems for homework if not completed.
Teacher Script: "Great effort everyone! We'll quickly go over a couple of problems. Remember, practice makes perfect! We'll continue exploring these topics next time."
(Collect worksheets for review. Optionally, use a quick exit ticket question related to the lesson for a cool-down activity).
