ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 5 x 11 = 55
Today, we’re going to learn about a fun math fact: multiplying 5 by 11. When you multiply 5 by 11, you get 55. Let’s say it together: five times eleven equals fifty-five!
Multiplication is like adding the same number over and over again. If you have 5 groups of 11 things, you have 55 things in total. It’s like having 5 bags with 11 candies in each bag. If you count all the candies, you’ll have 55 candies!
Let’s practice some more. Try to remember: 5 times 11 equals 55. You can even make a song or a rhyme to help you remember. How about this: “Five and eleven, make fifty-five, that’s the way to keep math alive!”
Did you know that multiplication is used in many things we do every day? When you help bake cookies, you might use multiplication to figure out how many cookies you can make with the ingredients you have. Or when you play games, you might use multiplication to keep score. It’s everywhere!
Now, let’s try some other multiplication problems. What is 5 times 2? That’s right, it’s 10! How about 5 times 3? Yes, it’s 15! You’re doing great!
Remember, the more you practice, the better you’ll get at multiplication. Try to practice a little bit every day, and soon you’ll be a multiplication master!
Keep having fun with math, and remember: five times eleven equals fifty-five!
Build Your Own Candy Bags: Gather some small objects like buttons, coins, or candies. Create 5 groups with 11 items in each group. Count all the items together to see if you get 55. Try creating different groups with other numbers, like 3 groups of 4 items, and see how multiplication helps you find the total quickly!
Multiplication Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your house or classroom to find things that come in groups. For example, look for egg cartons, packs of crayons, or sets of chairs. Count how many groups there are and how many items are in each group. Use multiplication to find out the total number of items.
Multiplication Story Time: Create a short story or comic strip about a character who uses multiplication in their adventure. Maybe they are a chef who needs to multiply ingredients for a big feast or a superhero who multiplies their powers to save the day. Share your story with your friends or family and explain how multiplication helped your character.
