ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 1 x 5 = 5
Let’s learn about a fun math fact today! We are going to talk about multiplying numbers. Multiplication is a way to add the same number many times. It’s like counting in groups.
When we say “one times five,” we are asking, “What is one group of five?” Imagine you have one hand, and each hand has five fingers. How many fingers do you have? That’s right, you have five fingers! So, one times five equals five.
Multiplying by one is easy because it means you have just one group of the number. So, if you have one group of five, you simply have five. It’s like saying, “I have one bunch of five apples.” You still have five apples!
Multiplication can be fun and easy to learn. You can use your fingers, toys, or even drawings to help you understand. Try counting objects around you in groups to see how multiplication works.
To get better at multiplication, practice with different numbers. Start with small numbers like 1, 2, or 3, and see how many groups you can make. Remember, practice helps you learn and remember better!
Today, we learned that one times five equals five. Multiplication is like adding the same number over and over. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a multiplication master!
Finger Counting Fun: Use your fingers to explore multiplication! Ask a friend or family member to call out a number between 1 and 5. Use your fingers to show that many groups of 1. For example, if they say “3,” hold up three fingers. Now, count how many fingers you have in total. This helps you see how multiplication is like adding the same number over and over.
Toy Grouping Game: Gather some of your favorite small toys or blocks. Try creating groups of 1, 2, or 3 toys. For example, make a group of 1 toy, then another group of 1 toy, and so on. Count how many toys you have in total. This activity helps you understand how multiplication works by grouping objects.
Multiplication Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Find items that come in groups, like pairs of shoes or sets of crayons. Count how many groups you find and how many items are in each group. Can you find a group of 5? How many items are there in total? This activity helps you see multiplication in everyday life.
