Understanding Multiplication and Repeated Addition

What is repeated addition?

• Multiplying different numbers together

• Adding the same number together at least twice

• Adding different numbers together multiple times

• Subtracting the same number multiple times

What is the key requirement for using multiplication?

• Having more than ten groups

• Having different numbers in each group

• Having equal groups

• Having at least one group

How are multiplication and addition similar?

• Both require different numbers in each group

• Both require at least ten groups

• Both show a total number of objects

• Both are used for subtraction

How does addition differ from multiplication?

• Addition is used for division

• Addition requires equal groups

• Addition shows each group individually

• Addition shows the total number of groups

How many cookies does Kimmy have in total?

What happens if you cannot use repeated addition?

• You can use subtraction instead

• You can use division instead

• You cannot use multiplication either

• You can still use multiplication
