ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 2 x 4 = 8
Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn something fun about numbers. Have you ever heard of multiplication? It’s like adding the same number over and over again. Let’s explore how it works with a simple example!
Imagine you have two groups of four apples. If you count all the apples together, you have eight apples. This is what we call “two times four equals eight.” It’s a quick way to find out how many apples you have without counting each one separately.
Multiplication helps us solve problems faster. Instead of adding four apples plus four apples, we can just say “two times four” to get the answer, which is eight. It’s like a magic trick with numbers!
Let’s practice saying it together: “Two times four equals eight.” Great job! The more you practice, the easier it will be to remember.
Did you know that the number eight looks like a snowman? Next time you see the number eight, think of a snowman to help you remember it!
Now that you know how to multiply two times four, try using other numbers. What happens if you multiply two times three or two times five? Keep practicing, and you’ll become a math wizard in no time!
Remember, math is all about having fun and discovering new things. Keep up the great work, and happy learning!
Apple Grouping Game: Gather some apples or any small objects you have at home, like toy blocks or coins. Create different groups of objects, such as two groups of three or three groups of two. Count how many objects are in each group and then multiply to find the total. For example, if you have two groups of three apples, how many apples do you have in total? Try different combinations and see how multiplication helps you find the answer quickly!
Draw and Multiply: Grab some paper and crayons. Draw pictures of different groups of objects, like stars or circles. For example, draw three groups of four stars. Count the stars in each group and then use multiplication to find the total number of stars. Write down the multiplication sentence, like “three times four equals twelve.” Share your drawings with a friend or family member and explain how you used multiplication to find the total.
Multiplication Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your house or classroom to find objects that come in groups. Look for things like pairs of shoes, sets of books, or packs of crayons. Count how many groups you find and how many items are in each group. Use multiplication to find out the total number of items. For example, if you find four pairs of shoes, how many shoes do you have in total? Write down your findings and share them with your class!
