Multiplication

Hi! I am back. Today we are going to study multiplication.

Definition of multiplication

Multiplication is repeated addition.

Examples

Leo gives each of his siblings 5 candies. If he has 3 siblings, what is the total number f candies he gave away?

No. of siblings: 3

No. of candies to each: 5

So, 3+3+3+3+3 = 15

So, 3 multiplied by 5 is 15.

NOTE: MULTIPLICATION FACTS CAN BE REVERSED.

AS, THREE TIMES FIVE, AND FIVE TIMES THREE IS FIFTEEN.

Tables

Collections of multiplicated numbers is called tables. For example:

1x1=1

1x2=2

1x3=3

1x4=4

1x5=5

End

That is all.
