Introduction to Volume of Rectangular Prisms

What is multiplication?

• Repeated Addition (eg 2+2+2+2 = 2x4)

• Equal groups (eg 2 equal groups of 4 = 2x4)

• Area (eg, a rectangle with a length of 4 and a width of 2 = 2x4)

• Volume (eg a shape with a legth of 2 and a height of 4 volume = 2x4)

• Put 2 different numbers together (eg if you have 2 pens and get 4 more)
