B. Developmental Activities 1. Presentation Mang Rodrigo planted 12 varieties of fruit trees last year. Per variety, he was able to have 16 bags of fruits. How many bags of fruits did he harvest? Analyze the problem. a. How many bags of fruits did Mang Rodrigo harvest? b. Whats the number sentence? 16 x 12 =n c, How can we solve the problem mentally? 2. Performing the Activity Group the pupils into six working teams. Ask them to think of strategies in multiplying mentally 16 x 12. Expected answer Solution 1: By mental computation 16 Mentally multiply the multiplicand by the ones: 2 x 16 = 32 x42 Mentally multiply the multiplicand by the tens: 10 x 16 = 160 Mentally add the partial products: = 192 Solution 2: By using the Distributive Property 16x 12 = 16x (10 +2) 160 + 32 192 3. Processing the Activities How did you go with the activity? How did you find the product without paper and pencil? For Solution 1: + We multiplied mentally the ones. + We multiplied mentally the tens by the ones. + We added mentally the two partial products. For Solution 2: + We used the Distributive Property to find product mentally 4, Reinforcing the Concept and Skill Discuss the presentation under Explore and Discover on page 37 of LM Math Grade 4. Then, give the following activities. ‘A. Mentally give the products of the following: 15 13, 14 12 x12 x x13 x14 B. Have the pupils perform the exercise under Get Moving and ‘Keep Moving on pages 37 and 38, LM Math Grade 4 5. Summarizing the Lesson Lead the pupils to give the generalization by asking: How do you multiply mentally 2-digit by 2-digit numbers with products up to 200? 51
