ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 1 x 2 = 2
Multiplication is a way to add the same number again and again. It’s like counting in groups. Today, we’re going to learn about multiplying with the number one!
When we say “one times two,” it means we have one group of two things. Let’s see what that looks like:
Picture two shiny red apples. If you have one group of these two apples, you still have just two apples. So, one times two equals two!
Let’s try a fun activity! Clap your hands one time. Now, imagine you have two claps. How many claps do you have? That’s right, two claps! One times two equals two.
Now you know that one times two equals two. You can try this with other numbers too. Remember, multiplying by one means you have just one group of that number!
Multiplication is like magic with numbers. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a math wizard in no time!
Apple Grouping Game: Gather some toy apples or use paper cutouts. Ask the children to create different groups of apples. For example, make one group of three apples, one group of four apples, etc. Then, ask them to count how many apples are in each group. This will help them understand the concept of multiplication as grouping.
Clap and Count: Have the children stand in a circle. Start by clapping once and ask the children to clap the same number of times as you. Then, increase the number of claps to two, three, and so on. After each round, ask them how many claps they made in total. This activity reinforces the idea of multiplying by one and counting in groups.
Everyday Multiplication Hunt: Encourage the children to find examples of multiplication in their daily lives. For instance, if they see two pairs of shoes, ask them how many shoes there are in total. This activity helps them apply multiplication to real-world scenarios and enhances their observational skills.
