*Try to complete the worksheets and practice drawing the circles and x’s to help if needed, if you don’t have a printer, please just practice drawing the groups and how many are in each group for some of the equations on a blank sheet of paper.
Multiplication is a faster way to add numbers. With multiplication, we have multiples of a certain number to add. For multiplication the key concept is to put objects or numbers into groups. For example, if I had 3 groups of students (5 students in each group) and wanted to know how many kids I have in total, I could figure out the total number of kids by adding 5 + 5 + 5. Or I could multiply 5 x 3 which means 3 groups of 5. To solve this, I like to draw pictures to help. I use circles to represent my number of groups, 3 circles for 3 groups. In each group, I make 5 x’s to represent how many people are in each group. At the end, I count all my x’s and can visually see how many people there are in total.
You can do this with any equation! In the second picture, I did the example 7 x 4 and 4 x 7. As you can see, it doesn’t matter what order the numbers come in, the answer is the same. Also, I drew the pictures differently. In the first drawing, I drew 7 groups of 4 x’s and then in the second drawing I drew 4 groups of 7 x’s. You can see that it’s still the same. 4 groups of 7 and 7 groups of 4 is the same.
