Finding Squares of one digit

Objective

 * Finding squares of a number by repeated multiplication.
 * Identifying the same number of objects in different group.
 * Recognizing as the number increases the square also increases.

Estimated time
40 min

Materials:
barbie dolls(any other object),sheet,pencil.

Prerequisites/Instructions

 * 1) The children should be familiar with counting of objects.
 * 2) They should know the multiplication/product of numbers.

Process
team 1

Initially the teacher gives a set of beads to three different group of students and ask each group to count the number of beads.

Each group starts to count the number and comes with their answers as 3 beads in each group.

Now the teacher instruct to check the number of beads in all the groups,Therefore all the group found 3 in number.

The teacher ask all the three group to tell the total number of beads found with them and the students answers it as 9beads.

The teacher instruct to write in the multiplication form with the help of the numbers obtained,Each group writes in the form of    3 * 3=9 beads.

The teacher asks what can you observe in the above multiplication,The students answers repetition of number 3 twice.

team 2

Similarly the teacher gives some beads to six different groups and tell each each group to count the number of beads and check whether all the groups have same in number.

The children counts the number of beads in their group and finds in other groups also, they found that there were 6 beads among six groups.

Now the teacher instruct to them it in the form of multiplication and children came with the answers as 6*6=36 beads

Hence this activity can be done with different objects with different group of students.

Evaluation

 * 1) The repeating of the same number twice is called as ___________.
 * 2) What is the square of the number 6?
 * 3) Name the operation used to find the square of a number?
