Equivalent groups of objects, or, repeated addition

Sets of objects

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 4 x 5 = 20

 The array

3 rows 4 columns 3 x 4 = 12

2 rows 5 columns 2 x 5 = 10

 Construct a rectangle with 12 cubes/squares:

Should get the following array: 1 x 12 = 12 2 x 6 = 12 3 x 4 = 12 4 x 3 = 12 6 x 2 = 12 12 x 1 = 12

Multiplication Words
Discuss and explore with your child the concepts of grouping and repeated addition with your child use real examples with objects that are in their everyday life. While playing with and handling such objects be sure to introduce and use some of the words below.

Multiplication Words
Groups of - 3 groups of 2 make 6. Sets of - 2 sets of 4 make 8. Lots of - 2 lots of 2 make 4. Multiplied -3 multiplied by 4 is 12 Product - the product of 5 and 3 is 15. Times - 3 times 2 is 6.

3 groups of 4; 3 times of 4; 3 X 4 = 12; Count 4, 8, 12;

4 groups of 3; 4 times of 3; 4 X 3 = 12; Count 3,6,9,12;

2. Turn multiplication problems into rectangles

Using graph paper

3 rows of 4 squares

4 rows of 3 squares

Cuisenaire rods

 To show multiplication as repeated addition

1 2 3 4 5

5 times 2 = 10 5 x 2 = 10

Using a Number Line

Using Multiplication Table

Using Multiplication grid

 Use Cusenaire rods or Base Ten Blocks Example;

23 x 4 (23 groups of 4) Apply commutative law of multiplication 4 x 23
23 = 2 tens and 3 units

23 x 4 = 4 x 23

1 ten and 2 units = 12 80 + 12 = 92 8 tens = 80

23 x 4 = 4 x 23 = 92

20

23 x 12 =
20 x 10 = 200 3 x 10 = 30 2 x 20 = 40 2 x 3 = 6 + 276
