ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 5 x 6 = 30
Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about a fun math fact: 5 times 6 equals 30. Let’s explore what this means and how you can remember it easily!
When we say “5 times 6,” we’re talking about adding the number 5 together six times. Let’s count it out:
So, when you add 5 together six times, you get 30! That’s why 5 times 6 equals 30.
Another way to understand this is by skip counting. Skip counting means counting by a certain number each time. Let’s try skip counting by 5:
See how we reached 30 by counting by 5s? That’s another way to see that 5 times 6 equals 30!
Now that you know how 5 times 6 equals 30, try practicing with other numbers. You can use skip counting or adding the same number multiple times to find the answer. It’s a fun way to get better at multiplication!
Did you know that multiplication is like a shortcut for adding the same number over and over again? It helps us solve math problems faster and makes math even more exciting!
Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a multiplication master!
Hands-On Multiplication: Gather some small objects like blocks, buttons, or coins. Create groups of 5 objects and make 6 groups. Count the total number of objects to see how it matches the multiplication fact 5 x 6 = 30. Try this with different numbers to see how multiplication works with other combinations!
Skip Counting Hopscotch: Draw a hopscotch grid outside or on a large piece of paper. Write the numbers 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 in the squares. As you hop from one square to the next, say the numbers out loud. This will help you practice skip counting by 5s and reinforce the concept of multiplication.
Multiplication Story Time: Create a short story or comic strip about a character who needs to solve a problem using multiplication. For example, “Sam the Squirrel needs to collect 5 nuts from each of 6 trees. How many nuts does Sam collect in total?” Draw pictures to illustrate the story and solve the problem using multiplication.
