Look at each array. First write the repeated addition equation, then write the multiplication equation. Remember: multiplication is a faster way to add equal groups!
1.
Count the balls. Write the repeated addition AND the multiplication equation.
Write the repeated addition:
++++=
This is the same as:
Write the multiplication equation:
×=
(5 rows × 4 columns)
How many in all?
2.
Count the balls. Write the repeated addition AND the multiplication equation.
Write the repeated addition:
++=
This is the same as:
Write the multiplication equation:
×=
(3 rows × 3 columns)
How many in all?
3.
Count the stars. Write the repeated addition AND the multiplication equation.
Write the repeated addition:
+=
This is the same as:
Write the multiplication equation:
×=
(2 rows × 4 columns)
How many in all?
4.
