Finding Multiplication Patterns with a Multiplication Chart

This lesson teaches how to find multiplication patterns using a chart. It covers the multiplication table, commutative and identity properties, and explores patterns in multiples of 5. The lesson also examines the results of multiplying odd and even factors, highlighting that odd times odd yields an odd product, while odd times even and even times even yield even products.
