Visualizing Multiplication with Tiles

In this video, Kim demonstrates how to use KP 10 frame tiles to teach multiplication. The focus is on understanding multiplication as groups of numbers, specifically using the example of 4 times 3. Students are guided to arrange tiles into groups of three and use an empty tent frame to visualize the multiplication process. The video also introduces an alternative method by comparing 4 times 3 with 5 times 3 to help students understand the concept better.

What is the main purpose of using KP 10 frame tiles in this video?

• To demonstrate multiplication

• To demonstrate subtraction

• To demonstrate addition

• To demonstrate division

In the context of the video, what does 'four times three' represent?

• Four groups of three

• Three groups of four

• Four single units

• Three single units

How should students arrange the tiles to demonstrate 4 times 3?

• Into piles of four

• Randomly

• Into piles of three

• Into a single line

What does the tent frame help students visualize?

• The multiplication result

• The addition result

• The number of groups

• The number of tiles

What is the first step in demonstrating 4 times 3 with tiles?

• Write down the numbers

• Count the tiles

• Arrange tiles into groups of three

• Draw a tent frame

What is the purpose of using an empty tent frame in the demonstration?

• To add more tiles

• To organize the tiles

• To visualize groups

• To subtract tiles

What is the result of 4 times 3 as demonstrated in the video?

• 10

• 11

• 12

• 13

If a student doesn't know 4 times 3, what alternative multiplication can they think of?

• 5 times 4

• 4 times 4

• 5 times 3

• 3 times 3

What is the result of 5 times 3?

• 13

• 15

• 12

• 14

How can students adjust the result of 5 times 3 to find 4 times 3?

• Subtract two groups of three

• Add two groups of three

• Subtract one group of three

• Add one group of three
