Multiplication is a way to add numbers together really fast! It’s like counting groups of things. Today, we’re going to learn about multiplying the number 2 by itself.
When we say “2 times 2,” it means we have two groups of 2. Let’s count them together:
So, 2 times 2 equals 4! Isn’t that fun?
Let’s say it together a few times to remember:
Great job! You’re doing amazing!

Keep practicing, and you’ll be a math superstar in no time!
Group Counting Adventure: Gather some small objects like blocks, buttons, or coins. Ask the children to create two groups of two objects each. Let them count the total number of objects to see how multiplication works in real life. Encourage them to try with different numbers, like three groups of two, and see what happens!
Draw and Multiply: Provide paper and crayons. Ask the children to draw two groups of two items, like two apples in one group and two apples in another. Then, have them count all the apples together. This visual representation helps them understand multiplication as repeated addition.
Multiplication Story Time: Create a simple story involving multiplication. For example, “If you have two baskets and each basket has two apples, how many apples do you have in total?” Encourage the children to draw or act out the story to find the answer. This activity helps them apply multiplication in everyday scenarios.
