Multiplication: Lesson 1, Section 1-3rd & 4th

by Leah Andrade

​Multiplication- Intro and Lesson

​Ever wonder what Multiplication is? Well, you're in luck because we'll

​be teaching you the basics of Multiplication! Alright, enough of me talking, let's get started right now! Take the example I gave you and write it down on a piece of paper!

​

​ 3x2=6

​ (3+3 or 2+2+2=6)

Basics

​----------------------------

​So my example was 3x2=6, you wanna know why?

​Well, 3x2 is another way to say 3+3 or 2+2+2=6.

​So let's say there's 3 circles, and we have 2 in each

​of them. Count how many are INSIDE of each circle.

​Remember, 2+2+2 is 6, so the answer is 6.

​Information

​-------------------

-​ The "x" in the multiplication equation is the symbol for the equation.

​- If you see long sentences like 2+2+2, that's called repeated Addition.

• ​Multiplication is a shorter way of seeing Addition like, 3x2 is shorter than

​2+2+2 and it will make sense if you practice Multiplication.
