BEGINNING MULTIPLICATION
BASIC FACTS 0 - 4
Multiplication is
REPEATED ADDITION.
It is a shortcut to skip counting.
The first number in the problem tells you
how many sets you have.
The second number tells you how many
elements or objects are in each set.
In the problem
2 X 3
The 2 shows you that you have 2 sets.
The 3 tells you that there are
3 elements or objects in each set.
If you have 2 sets with 3 elements or objects
in each set you will have a total of
6 objects or elements.
SO…
2 X 3 = 6
Let’s try some.
1 X 2
1 set
2 elements in the set
1 X 2
3 X 1
3 sets
1 element
in each set
3 x 1
1 X 0
There are NO elements
In this set!
This set isEMPTY!
ZERO ELEMENTS
0
0 X 4
There is NO
set to put elements in.
Zero sets = Zero
0
1 X 3
1 set
3 elements in the set
1 X 3
2 X 2
2 sets
2 elements in each
2 x 2
0 X 1
No set.
No set to put elements in.
Zero times # always = zero
0 x 1
2 X 1
2 x 1
3 X 2
4 X 0
4 empty sets
0 X 0
Zero sets
Zero elements
2 X 4
1 X 1
0 X 3
3 X 4
2 X 0
4 X 2
0 X 2
2 X 3
4 X 4
3 X 0
4 X 1
3 X 3
1 X 4
4 X 3
Now let’s see how manyyou can remember!
