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