Factors and Products in Multiplication
Year 2 Mathematics Learning about multiplication vocabulary
What Are Factors and Products?
A factor is a number we multiply A product is the answer when we multiply In 3 × 4 = 12, the factors are 3 and 4 The product is 12
Let's Practice with Arrays!
Look at this array of dots Count the rows and columns What multiplication sentence can you make? Which numbers are the factors?
Three Ways to Show Multiplication
{"left":"Array: 3 rows of 4 dots\nRepeated Addition: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12\nNumber Sentence: 3 × 4 = 12","right":"All show the same thing!\nSame factors: 3 and 4\nSame product: 12"}
Can You Find the Factor Pairs?
If the product is 12, what factor pairs can you find? Remember: factors multiply to make the product Use your fingers or draw dots to help!
Factor Detective Challenge
Work with a partner Choose a product number Find ALL the factor pairs Draw arrays or use counters to check your work
Remember
Factors are the numbers we multiply together The product is our answer We can show multiplication with arrays, addition, and number sentences!
