ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 4 x 6 = 24
Today, we’re going to learn about a fun math fact: 4 times 6 equals 24! Multiplication is like adding the same number over and over. Let’s see how it works with 4 and 6.
When we say 4 times 6, it means we have 4 groups of 6. Imagine you have 4 baskets, and each basket has 6 apples. If you count all the apples, you will find there are 24 apples in total. That’s why 4 times 6 equals 24!
Another way to understand this is by counting by sixes. Let’s count together: 6, 12, 18, 24. When we reach 24, we have counted four sixes. So, 4 times 6 equals 24!
Now, let’s practice! Can you think of other numbers you can multiply? Try 3 times 5 or 2 times 7. Use objects like toys or blocks to make groups and count them. It’s a fun way to learn multiplication!
Multiplication is a great way to add numbers quickly. Remember, 4 times 6 equals 24. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a multiplication master!
Apple Basket Challenge: Gather some small objects like buttons or coins. Pretend these are apples. Create 4 groups with 6 “apples” in each group. Count all the “apples” together to see if you get 24. Now, try making different groups, like 3 groups of 5 or 2 groups of 7, and count them to see how multiplication works with different numbers.
Skip Counting Adventure: Practice counting by sixes with a fun twist. Start at 6 and hop forward: 6, 12, 18, 24. Each time you land on a number, clap your hands. Try this with other numbers, like counting by fives or twos. Notice how skip counting helps you understand multiplication!
Multiplication Story Time: Create a short story about a picnic where you have 4 baskets, and each basket has 6 sandwiches. Draw a picture of your picnic and count the sandwiches. Share your story with a friend or family member and explain how you used multiplication to find out the total number of sandwiches.
