                                         MATHS LAB ACTIVITY                                    • Experiential Learning



        Aim: To find the greatest product

        Objective: To develop the skill of multiplication

        Materials: Paper, a pencil and a set of 5 digits
        Note: This is a group activity, hence divide the class into groups of 4–5 students.

        Method: Let the set of numbers be 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

              1.  Students of every group take a piece of paper and a pen or a pencil.

              2.  Make the grid three times as shown below.

                    H T       O         H T       O         H T       O




                    ×                   ×                   ×

              3.  Enter the digits from 1 to 5 in five blocks and get their product. Here,
                   one is illustrated for you.

                                                            H T     O

                                                            1 2 3

                                                           × 4 5
                                                            6 1 5
                                                    + 4 9 2

                                                        5 5 3 5

              4.  Compare  the  products  with  other  students  in  the  group.  Show  the
                   greatest product to the teacher.

              5.  Teacher will  announce the group  getting  the greatest product  first  as

                   the winner of the round.
                   Repeat the activity for other sets of numbers.
