Multiplication is a repeated addition. It can be represented by using fingers to count groups being added together. The order of the factors does not change the product, so 2 x 3 equals 3 x 2 and both equal 6. Practice multiplication by representing problems with fingers to find that the product is the same regardless of the order of the factors.

1. MULTIPLICATION ?
IT’ EASY…TRY IT OUT!

2. Multiplication is a repeated addition
Example: 2 + 2 + 2 = 6
Convert to 2 X 3 = 6
multiplication

3. What is this?

4. Use your fingers to do multiplication.
Its fun.

5. How?

6. 2 x 3 = ?
3 + 3 =6
Each finger
equal to 3

7. or

8. 3 x 2 = ?
+2 + 2 =6
2
Each finger
equal to 3

9. So

10. 2 X 3=6
=
3 X 2=6

11. 3 x 4 = ?

12. 12

13. 4x3=?

14. 12

15. 5 x 3=

16. 15

17. 3x5=

18. 15

19. 4x5=?
5x4=?

20. 20

21. What is your
Conclusion?

22. 2 X 3= and 3 X 2=
We will get 6

23. Good luck!!!
