Multiplication is a way to add the same number many times. It’s like counting groups of things. Today, we are going to learn about multiplying with the number 1!
When we multiply any number by 1, the answer is always the same number. It’s like magic! Let’s see how it works with the number 7.
Imagine you have 1 group of 7 apples. How many apples do you have? You still have 7 apples! That’s because 1 times 7 equals 7.
Let’s try some more! If you have 1 group of 3 bananas, how many bananas do you have? Yes, you have 3 bananas because 1 x 3 = 3!
Learning multiplication helps us count faster and solve problems. It’s like a superpower for math!
Practice multiplying with 1 using different numbers. You can use toys, fruits, or anything you like. Remember, 1 times any number is always that number!
Math is fun and helps us in many ways. Keep learning and exploring, and you’ll become a math superstar!
Group Counting Adventure: Gather some small toys or objects like blocks or buttons. Ask the children to create different groups of the same number of objects. For example, make a group of 5 blocks. Then, ask them how many blocks are in 1 group of 5. Encourage them to say, “1 x 5 = 5.” Repeat with different numbers to reinforce the concept that multiplying by 1 gives the same number.
Multiplication Magic Show: Let the children perform a “magic show” where they demonstrate the magic of multiplying by 1. Give them a number card (e.g., 4, 6, 9) and ask them to show the audience how 1 times that number equals the number itself. They can use props like toy fruits or drawings to illustrate their point. Encourage them to explain why it’s like magic!
Everyday Multiplication Hunt: Encourage children to find examples of multiplying by 1 in their everyday life. Ask them to look around their home or classroom and find situations where they have 1 group of something, like 1 basket of 8 crayons. Have them share their findings with the class and explain how it shows 1 times a number equals the same number.
