Multiplication Look at the ppt to remind you of the different ways we can solve multiplication problems. We can use pictures and drawings , arrays , a number line or mental recall
Shariq and Isabelle have 5 apples each. How many apples will they have altogether? 2 x 5= 10
There are 2 pieces of pizza on each plate. How many pieces of pizza are there altogether? 3 x 2= 6
There are 2 walls, each with 6 cats on. How many cats are there altogether? 2 x 6= 12
There are 10 birds in each tree. How many birds are there altogether? 2 x 10 = 20
Sally, Mia and David have baked 5 cupcakes each. How many cupcakes are there altogether? 3 x 5= 15

Counting In Groups
There are 5 fish in each bowl. Count in fives to find out how many fish there altogether. 5 x 5 = 25
There are 2 frogs on each lily pad. Count in twos to find out how many frogs there altogether. 4 x 2 = 8
There are 10 cars in each row. Count in tens to find out how many cars there altogether. 4 x 10 = 40
There are 5 sweets in each bag. Count in fives to find out how many sweets there altogether. 7 x 5 = 35
There are 10 books on each shelf. Count in tens to find out how many books there altogether. 6 x 10 = 60
Count in twos to find out how many flowers there altogether. 8 x 2 = 16
Using a number line 6 x 3= 1 x 3 0 2 x 3 3 3 x 3 6 9 4 x 3 12 5 x 3 6 x 3 15 18
Using a number line 5 x 4= 1 x 4 0 2 x 4 4 3 x 4 8 4 x 4 12 5 x 4 16 20
