Hey there! Today, we’re going to explore the art room and discover something cool about crayons. Are you ready? Let’s dive in!
In the art room, there’s a special shelf just for crayons. On this shelf, you’ll find boxes filled with colorful crayons. Each box contains exactly 10 crayons. Isn’t that neat?
Now, let’s do some counting! There are 10 boxes on the shelf, and each box has 10 crayons inside. So, how many crayons do we have in total? Let’s count together:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!
Wow! That’s a total of 100 crayons. So many colors to choose from!
Here’s a fun fact: when you have 10 boxes with 10 crayons each, you can use multiplication to find the total number of crayons. Just multiply 10 (the number of boxes) by 10 (the number of crayons in each box), and you get 100 crayons. Easy, right?
Now you know how to organize and count crayons in the art room. Happy coloring!
Crayon Sorting Game: Gather some crayons and sort them into groups of 10. Count how many groups you have and then multiply the number of groups by 10 to find out how many crayons you have in total. Try this with different numbers of crayons and see if you can always find the total using multiplication!
Crayon Art Project: Use your crayons to create a colorful picture. As you draw, count how many different colors you use. Can you organize your crayons by color and count how many you have in each group? Try to multiply the number of groups by the number of crayons in each group to find the total number of crayons used in your artwork.
Question Time: Imagine you have 5 friends, and each friend has a box of 10 crayons. How many crayons do you and your friends have altogether? Can you use multiplication to find the answer? Discuss with your friends or family how multiplication helps in counting large numbers quickly.
