2. Multiplication

3. Multiplication
1. Always think of multiplication as just adding groups of numbers.
2. If you have 4 x 3, it simply means 4 groups of 3.
Within these four groups, there are three triangles. 3 3 3 3
Count the triangles – how many? = 12
4 groups of 3 = 12
4 x 3= 12

4. Before solving multiplication problems, you must be able to identify them. There are 4 ways that you may find multiplication problems written:
3 x 4 is the traditional way
; a simple dot between two numbers
3. (3)(4) or 3(4) or (3)4
4. 3n= 12; anytime a number is connected to a letter it means multiply.
Multiplication problems are found in vertical and sentence form.
Sentence form: 12 x 4=
If the problem is written in sentence form, rewrite the problem using vertical form.
Vertical form: 1 2
x 4

6. Guided Practice Solve the multiplication problems using:
Remember the first number in the multiplication problem is the number in each group and the second number is the number of groups.
4 x 4 = 16
5 x 2= 10
3 x 2 = 6
Solve the multiplication problems using:
Smiley faces 2 x 8 = 16
Circles: 5 x 3 = 15
Squares: 9 x 2 = 18

The 2 stays in the ones column because
there are 2 ones.
The 1 from the tens column moves to the tens column because there is 1 set of ten to be carried.

16. Multiply the number in the tens column, which is 7, by 2
Step 3:
Multiply the number in the tens column, which is 7, by 2
2 x 7 = 14 1

Step 4:
Add the number carried which was 1 5
Step 5:
= 15
The 5 is left in the column and the 1 is carried to the hundreds column
