Lesson Plan – Class 4 Mathematics
Chapter 9: “Equal Groups”

Aligned with NCF Curricular Goals (2024)

Detailed Lesson Plan

Concepts	Curricular Goals / Competencies (NCF 2023)	Learning Outcomes	Pedagogical Strategies	Integration with Other Subjects	Assessment	Resources (Digital / Physical)	21st Century Skills / Values / Vocational Skills	Extension / Real-Life Application
Equal groups & Multiplication as repeated addition	CG-8 (C-37): Learners develop understanding of quantities, measures & operations by experimenting with equal groups and repeated addition	Students will interpret situations with equal groups (e.g. 3 groups of 4) and express them as multiplication	Use manipulatives (counters, beads), visual grouping, discussion	EVS – grouping fruits, toys	Oral & written: represent groups as multiplication expressions	Counters, beads, drawing paper	Pattern recognition, reasoning	Count items in groups at home (e.g. rows of chairs)
Multiplication & Division relationship (equal grouping / sharing)	CG-13 (C-66): Learners ask questions, explore relationships (multiplication vs division)	Students will convert equal-group scenarios into both multiplication and division sentences	Use story problems, play “make groups and share”	Language – framing story problems	Worksheets: write multiplication & division pairs	Story cards, counters	Inquiry, flexibility	Share candies equally; find how many groups possible
Multiplying by multipliers ending with zero	CG-8 (C-37): Understand shortcuts in operations using place value (e.g. 10, 20, 100)	Students will multiply numbers by 10, 20, 30 etc. using the “attach zero” rule	Demonstration, guided practice, visual number lines	Place value concept in Maths	Exercises with tens multipliers	Base ten blocks, charts	Efficiency, numeric fluency	Multiply number of classmates by 10 to get total seats in rows
Patterns in division from equal groups	CG-13 (C-66): Learners observe patterns, ask questions and generalize	Students will notice patterns in division from equal groups (remainders, symmetric grouping)	Pattern hunt, class table patterns, guided discussion	EVS – sharing, distribution	Pattern worksheet, class discussion	Grid charts, manipulatives	Observation, generalization	Dividing items in classroom or grouping toys
Word problems & story problems	CG-8 / CG-13: Apply operations to solve real world problems involving equal groups	Students will solve story problems involving groups, items per group, and leftover items	Think-pair-share, guided modeling, class discussion	Language – reading comprehension	Word problem worksheet	Story cards, real objects	Problem solving, application	Create own story problems based on daily life (e.g. arranging desks)

Suggested Activities (Short List)

Group Building
Use counters to build equal groups and pose “how many in all?”

Make & Share Game
Give students objects and ask them to share into equal groups; also ask reverse: “if there are 4 in each group, how many groups?”

Tens Multiplication Drill
Multiply various numbers by 10, 20, etc., and show reasoning.

Division Pattern Table
Fill a table for dividing by 3, 4, 5 and observe patterns of remainders.

Story Problem Swap
Half class writes equal-group story problems for others to solve.

Real Life Counting
Count items at home/in class (e.g. chairs, pens) and group them to form multiplication sentences.
