Multiplication

There are 4 boxes.Each box has 3 balls.How many balls are there altogether?

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

Take a look at this example.

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

4 threes = 12

4 x 3 = 12

A few ways to represent the answer.

There are 12 balls altogether.

4 groups of 3 = 12

(We use “x” to represent ‘groups of’)

Let’s try another question.

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 18

6 threes = 18

6 groups of 3 = 18

84 groups of 2

4 X 2

4 + 4 + 4 + 4

4 twos

2 groups of 5

2 X 55 + 5

2 fives

10
