9. Anticipatory Set
Pretend your grandmother lives on a farm, and has 9 cats.
How many legs would there be altogether?
How would you solve for the answer?

10. Direction Instruction
Repeated addition is one model to use when solving this
problem.
Grandma has 9 cats.
Each cat has 4 legs.

11. Direction Instruction
Repeated addition is one model to use when solving this
problem.
Grandma has 9 cats.
Each cat has 4 legs.
4 +4 +4 +4+4+ 4 + 4 +4 + 4

12. Direction Instruction
Repeated addition is one model to use when solving this
problem.

Each cat has 4 legs.
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 36 cat legs

13. Direction Instruction
Repeated addition takes several steps. Multiplication is a
faster way to total many of the same number.
Multiplication gives use the total in just one step.

Repeated addition is the
same as multiplication.

20. Direction Instruction
You are trying to make your AR Goal. For eight days, you
read six books each day. How many books did you read?

21. Direction Instruction
You are trying to make your AR Goal. For eight days, you
read six books each day. How many books did you read?
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + +6 + 6 +6

22. Direction Instruction
You are trying to make your AR Goal. For eight days, you
read six books each day. How many books did you read?
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + +6 + 6 +6 = 48 books

23. Direction Instruction
You are trying to make your AR Goal. For eight days, you
read six books each day. How many books did you read?
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + +6 + 6 +6 = 48 books
8 days of reading, 6 books each day
repeated addition = many steps
multiplication = 1 step

24. Direction Instruction
You are trying to make your AR Goal. For eight days, you
read six books each day. How many books did you read?
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + +6 + 6 +6 = 48 books
8 days of reading, 6 books each day
repeated addition = many steps
multiplication = 1 step 8 x 6 = 48 books

25. Direction Instruction
Watch as this video models the process of
multiplication using repeated addition.

26. Guided Practice
Your brother collects rocks. He keeps them in boxes. He
has 5 boxes with 7 rocks in each box. How many rocks
does he have?
repeated addition = many steps
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 35 rocks
multiplication = one step
5 x 7 = 35 rocks

27. Guided Practice
Solve using repeated addition.
1) 6 x 8 =
2) 7 x 3 =
3) 4 x 5=
Solve using multiplication.
1) 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 =
2) 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 =
3) 9 + 9 + 9 =

28. Independent Practice
Directions: Use the cards (0-12) to make repeated addition
models for these multiplication problems.
1) 7 x 7 =
2) 8 x 3 =
3) 12 x 6 =
4) 2 x 10 =
5) 4 x 11 =

29. Independent Practice
Directions: Use the cards (0-12) to make multiplication
problems from repeated addition.
1) 7 + 7 =
2) 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 =
3) 12 + 12 + 12 =
4) 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 =
5) 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 =

July August September October
The survey was taken by one hundred 3rd graders on preference of repeated addition or multiplication. As student
became more comfortable processing multiplication using repeated addition they preferred multiplication to
repeated addition. Students realized multiplication was a faster and easier way to solve for the answer.

34. Repeated addition is
Multiplication!

35. Repeated addition is

38. Independent Practice-Activity
On the next four slides are the number cards for students to build
repeated addition models to process multiplication.
Note: Slides can be printed out, laminated, and cut apart. Students
can be partnered up, for less cards needed.
