Make multiplication come to life with this interactive Google Slides lesson using number lines!

This introductory multiplication lesson helps students build a conceptual understanding of multiplication through a visual number line model. Students will explore the meaning of multiplication, identify the components of a multiplication equation, and practice modeling repeated addition using number lines.

The lesson includes 25 interactive slides designed for use on an interactive whiteboard, Chromebook, or tablet. Students are encouraged to participate actively by coming to the board to demonstrate their understanding, making this lesson both visual and hands-on.

Also included is a second version of the lesson that introduces the commutative property of multiplication using number line models—helping students see that factors can be multiplied in any order to produce the same product.

Each slide includes teacher notes and answer keys conveniently located in the comments for easy guidance and smooth instruction. The flexible digital format makes it perfect for whole-class teaching, small group instruction, or guided math lessons.
