ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 2 x 6 = 12
Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun with numbers and learn about multiplication. Multiplication is like adding the same number over and over again. Let’s explore what happens when we multiply 2 by 6.
When we say “2 times 6,” it means we are adding the number 2, six times. Let’s see how that works:
So, 2 times 6 equals 12! Isn’t that cool?
Here are some fun ways to remember that 2 times 6 equals 12:
Now that you know how to multiply 2 by 6, try practicing with other numbers. You can use toys, drawings, or even your fingers to help you count and multiply. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at it!
Math is like a big puzzle, and every time you learn something new, you’re adding a piece to that puzzle. Keep exploring, have fun, and soon you’ll be a math whiz!
Apple Counting Game: Gather 12 small objects like apples, toy blocks, or buttons. Divide them into two groups of six. Ask yourself, “How many objects are in each group?” Then, count all the objects together to see if you have 12. Try rearranging them into different groups, like three groups of four, and see how multiplication works in different ways!
Balloon Drawing Activity: Draw two hands on a piece of paper. On each hand, draw six balloons. Count the balloons on each hand and then count them all together. How many balloons do you have in total? Try drawing different numbers of balloons on each hand and see how the total changes. This will help you understand multiplication with different numbers.
Question Time: Imagine you have two baskets, and each basket has six oranges. How many oranges do you have in total? Can you think of other things you can multiply in your house, like pairs of socks or sets of crayons? Share your ideas with a friend or family member and see what they come up with!
