The document contains 9 word problems involving multiplication and addition. Each problem presents a scenario involving a number of objects, the number of a particular feature on each object, and asks how many of that feature there are in total. The answer to each problem shows the multiplication calculation used to determine the total, as well as writing out the addition calculation. The document ends with a short reflection on learning multiplication as repeated addition and learning to type without looking.
