Multiplication is used to find the total number of items when they are organized into equal groups. It involves determining the number of groups and the number of items in each group. Some examples provided are calculating the total number of stars when arranged in groups of two, finding the number of sodas needed when purchased in packs of six, and counting flowers, balloons, and tires organized into arrays. Multiplication allows for efficiently calculating totals when items are grouped equally.

3. What is Multiplication? To find out how many stars there are, you could add. + 2 red + 2 blue = 6 stars 2 yellow

4. However, if you have equal groups of something you can use Multiplication

5. What is Multiplication? I see three groups of two. x 2 = 6 stars 3 groups

6. If you are having a party and you want to have lots of sodas, you can use multiplication. Sodas come in groups of six.

7. Five groups of six would be 30 sodas. 5 x 6 = 30 sodas

8. Sometime multiplication can be used when objects are in rows or columns, or arrays. Here is an array of flowers.

9. There are 3 rows of 6 flowers. 3 x 6 = 18 flowers.

10. How many groups? How many in each group? There are 3 groups of 4 balloons.

11. Equal numbers are in each group. Multiplication can be used! 3 x 4 = 12 balloons

12. How many groups? How many in each group? There are 4 groups of 3 tires.

13. Equal numbers are in each group. Multiplication can be used! 4 x 3 = 12 tires

14. Multiplication When combining EQUAL groups, the fastest way to get the total is by using…
