ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 4 x 11 = 44
Multiplication is like adding the same number over and over again. When we say “four times eleven,” it means we are adding the number eleven four times. Let’s see how that works!
When we multiply four by eleven, we get forty-four. Let’s break it down:
So, four times eleven equals forty-four!
Another way to understand this is by counting by elevens. Let’s count together:
When we count four elevens, we reach forty-four. Isn’t that cool?
Did you know that multiplication is used in many things we do every day? For example, if you have four packs of crayons and each pack has eleven crayons, you can use multiplication to find out how many crayons you have in total. Just multiply four by eleven to get forty-four crayons!
Now that you know how to multiply four by eleven, try practicing with other numbers. Multiplication is a fun way to solve problems and learn new things!
Crayon Count Challenge: Gather some crayons or any small objects you have at home. Create groups of eleven objects. Ask yourself, “How many objects do I have if I make four groups of eleven?” Count them to see if you get forty-four. Try making different numbers of groups and see how multiplication helps you find the total quickly!
Multiplication Hopscotch: Draw a hopscotch grid with numbers on the ground using chalk. Start with 11 and keep adding 11 for each square (11, 22, 33, 44, etc.). Hop through the grid and say the numbers out loud. This will help you remember how to count by elevens and understand multiplication better. Can you make it to 44 without missing a step?
Story Time with Multiplication: Create a short story where you use multiplication. For example, imagine you are planning a party and need to set up tables. If each table seats 11 people and you have 4 tables, how many people can you invite? Draw a picture of your party setup and write a sentence about how multiplication helped you plan.
