Meet the Math Facts: Multiplication & Division

Learning Multiplication: 4 x 7 = 28

Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun with math. We’re going to learn about multiplication, which is a way to add the same number many times. Let’s start with a cool math fact: 4 times 7 equals 28!

What Does 4 x 7 Mean?

When we say 4 times 7, it means we are adding the number 7 four times. Let’s count together:

  • First 7: 7
  • Second 7: 7 + 7 = 14
  • Third 7: 14 + 7 = 21
  • Fourth 7: 21 + 7 = 28

So, when we add 7 four times, we get 28. That’s why 4 times 7 equals 28!

Counting by Sevens

Another fun way to understand this is by counting by sevens. Let’s try it:

  • Start with 7
  • Then 14 (7 + 7)
  • Then 21 (14 + 7)
  • Finally, 28 (21 + 7)

See how we reached 28 by counting by sevens? It’s like a fun number hop!

Practice Makes Perfect

Now that you know how to multiply 4 by 7, try practicing with other numbers. You can use toys, drawings, or even your fingers to help you count. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at multiplication!

Remember the Magic Number

Whenever you see 4 times 7, remember the magic number is 28. It’s like a secret code that you now know!

Keep having fun with math, and soon you’ll be a multiplication master!

  • Can you think of a time when you used multiplication in your daily life, like sharing toys or snacks with friends? How did it help you?
  • Imagine you have 4 groups of 7 toy cars. How would you arrange them to make counting easier? Can you think of other things you have that you can group and count using multiplication?
  • What other numbers do you think would be fun to multiply? Why do you think learning multiplication is important? Share your thoughts with your family or friends!
  1. Multiplication Hopscotch: Create a hopscotch grid on the ground using chalk or tape. Label each square with numbers that are multiples of 7 (e.g., 7, 14, 21, 28). Have the children hop on each square while saying the number out loud. This will help them visualize and remember the sequence of multiples of 7.

  2. Build a Tower: Use building blocks or LEGO pieces to create towers representing the multiplication fact 4 x 7. Each block represents the number 7. Stack four blocks on top of each other and count the total number of blocks to see how they add up to 28. Encourage the children to build towers for other multiplication facts they want to learn.

  3. Number Detective: Ask the children to find examples of the number 28 in their everyday environment. This could be in books, on signs, or even in their toys. Encourage them to share where they found the number and how it relates to the multiplication fact 4 x 7. This activity helps them connect math to the real world.
