ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 4 x 12 = 48
Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about a fun math fact: how multiplying four by twelve gives us forty-eight. Let’s dive in and see how this works!
Multiplication is like adding the same number over and over again. When we say “four times twelve,” it means we are adding the number twelve four times. Let’s see how that looks:
12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48
See? When we add twelve four times, we get forty-eight. That’s why 4 times 12 equals 48!
Another way to understand this is by counting by twelves. Let’s count together:
When we count by twelves, the fourth number we say is forty-eight. So, four twelves make forty-eight!
Did you know that multiplication is a quick way to add the same number many times? It helps us solve problems faster and makes math super fun!
Now that you know how 4 times 12 equals 48, try practicing with other numbers. See if you can find out what 3 times 5 or 6 times 7 equals. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a multiplication master in no time!
Remember, multiplication is just repeated addition. By practicing and having fun with numbers, you’ll get better and better. Keep exploring and enjoy learning math!
Build a Multiplication Tower: Gather some building blocks or LEGO pieces. Use them to create a tower that represents the multiplication fact 4 x 12. Start by making a base layer with 12 blocks. Then, add three more layers, each with 12 blocks. Count the total number of blocks together to see how they add up to 48. Discuss how each layer represents one group of 12.
Multiplication Hopscotch: Draw a hopscotch grid on the ground with chalk, numbering the squares from 1 to 48. Have the children hop on the numbers that are multiples of 12 (12, 24, 36, 48). As they hop, ask them to say the multiplication fact aloud, like “1 times 12 is 12” or “4 times 12 is 48.” This activity helps them physically engage with the concept of multiplication.
Story Time with Multiplication: Create a short story where characters need to solve a problem using multiplication. For example, “Four friends each have 12 candies. How many candies do they have altogether?” Encourage the children to draw pictures of the story and write out the multiplication sentence (4 x 12 = 48). Discuss how multiplication helps solve real-life problems quickly.
