Bears and Fish (Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparison as equations)

In this video tutorial, Papa Bear and his son Teddy go fishing. Teddy catches 3 fish, while Papa Bear catches four times as many. The video explains how to calculate the number of fish Papa Bear caught using a multiplication equation. The lesson demonstrates how to represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations, concluding with the formula 4 times 3 equals 12, showing that Papa Bear caught 12 fish.
