🍎 Part 1: Understanding Equal Groups

1. Sam has 3 bags with 4 apples in each bag. Draw the groups below and write the addition sentence.

Addition sentence: _____ + _____ + _____ = _____

Multiplication sentence: _____ × _____ = _____

2. Look at this problem: 5 groups of 2 marbles. Which addition sentence matches?

5 + 2 = 7

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10

5 + 5 = 10

3. Circle the correct multiplication sentence for: 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24

6 × 6 = 36

4 × 6 = 24

6 × 4 = 24

🎯 Part 2: Creating Arrays

4. Draw an array to show 3 × 5. Then write the repeated addition sentence.

Repeated addition: _________________ = _____

5. This array shows 4 rows of 3 dots. Fill in the blanks:

Addition sentence: _____ + _____ + _____ + _____ = _____

Multiplication sentence: _____ × _____ = _____

We can also write it as: _____ × _____ = _____ (3 groups of 4)

📝 Part 3: Word Problems

6. There are 5 tables in the classroom. Each table has 6 pencils. How many pencils are there altogether?

Show your thinking: Draw or write the repeated addition, then the multiplication sentence.

7. A packet contains 2 biscuits. If you have 7 packets, how many biscuits do you have?

8. Which of these situations show multiplication? Check all that apply:

4 boxes with 3 toys in each box

5 children and 2 adults

6 groups of 5 students

3 bags with different numbers of lollies

🔢 Part 4: Number Line Jumps

9. On a number line, if you make 4 jumps of 3 spaces each, where do you land?

Starting at 0: 0 → _____ → _____ → _____ → _____

This shows: _____ × _____ = _____

10. Draw jumps on the number line to show 5 × 2:

🎪 Part 5: Match the Representations

11. Match each repeated addition with its multiplication sentence:

1. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3

2. 5 + 5 + 5

3. 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2

4. 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4

A. 3 × 5 = 15

B. 6 × 2 = 12

C. 4 × 3 = 12

D. 5 × 4 = 20

💭 Part 6: Explain Your Thinking

12. Explain in your own words: What is multiplication?

13. Why is 3 × 4 the same as 4 × 3? Use pictures or words to explain:

Multiplication as Repeated Addition

Multiplication as Repeated Addition
