Let’s Play With Multiplication!

What is Multiplication?

Multiplication is a shortcut process to avoid repeated addition.

 

Example:

4 * 8 means 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 32

10 * 3 means 10 + 10 + 10 = 30

5 * 5 means 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25

Multiplication can also be written as 4.8 = 32 or (4) (8) = 32 or (4)8 = 32

The common process however is: 4 factors

X 8 factors

32 products

The concept is simple factor * factor = product
