1. MULTIPLICATION REPEATED ADDTION

2. 6 2 2 + 2 + = Multiplication is the process of adding equal sets together. We added 2 three times.

3. Instead of repeatedly adding, we can multiply. 3 x 2 6

4. This means “3 groups of 2 equals 6 in all”. 3 x 2 6

5. This means “2 groups of 3 equals 6 in all”. 2 x 3 6

6. This means “3 groups of 4 equals 12 in all”. 3 x 4 12

7. This means “4 groups of 3 equals 12 in all”. 4 x 3 12

8. This means “2 groups of 6 equals 12 in all”. 2 x6 12

9. We can also use multiplication to find the total number in this set without having to add or count them.

10. 6 3 3 x 6 = 18

11. Or we can turn it the other way and show it like this.

12. 3 6 6 x 3 = 18

13. The End
