ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 1 x 8 = 8
Multiplication is a way to add the same number many times. It’s like counting groups of things. Today, we’re going to learn about multiplying with the number 1!
When we say “1 times 8,” it means we have one group of 8 things. Let’s see what that looks like:
Imagine you have 8 yummy apples. If you have one group of these 8 apples, you still have 8 apples! That’s what 1 times 8 means. It’s just like saying, “I have 8 apples.”
Did you know that when you multiply any number by 1, the number stays the same? It’s like magic! So, 1 times any number is always that number.
Now you know that 1 x 8 = 8. You can try this with other numbers too! Remember, 1 times any number is just that number. Isn’t that fun and easy?
Learning math can be fun! Keep practicing and you’ll get even better. You can watch more fun videos to learn about numbers and math. Enjoy your learning adventure!
Apple Grouping Game: Gather some apples or any other small objects like blocks or toy cars. Ask the children to create groups of these objects. For example, make one group of 5 apples, one group of 3 blocks, and so on. Then, ask them to count how many objects are in each group. This will help them understand that multiplying by 1 means you have just one group of that number.
Draw and Count: Provide the children with paper and crayons. Ask them to draw different numbers of objects, such as stars or circles, in groups of one. For instance, draw one group of 4 stars, one group of 6 circles, etc. Then, have them count the objects in each group and write down the multiplication sentence (e.g., 1 x 4 = 4). This activity reinforces the concept that multiplying by 1 keeps the number the same.
Magic Number Hunt: Take the children on a short walk around the classroom or playground. Ask them to find and count objects in groups of one, like one swing, one slide, or one tree. Encourage them to say the multiplication sentence aloud, such as “1 times 1 swing is 1 swing!” This activity helps them observe multiplication by 1 in their everyday environment.
