Multiplication

This week my group and I worked on multiplication. 

Multiplication is a faster way to add the same number many times.

First our group worked on 2 x 8. Their were 2 small groups and 8 groups. we multiplied them both and 2 x 8 = 16.

Second our group worked on 3 x 9. Their were 3 small groups and 9 groups. we multiplied them both and 3 x 9 = 27.

Lastly our group worked on 2 x 12. Their were small groups of 2 and 12 groups. We multiplied them both and 2 x 12 = 24.

I enjoyed it because the counters helped me work on the multiplication.
