Build a Multiplication Tower: Gather some building blocks or LEGO pieces. Use them to create a tower that represents 7 x 8. Start by making a row of 8 blocks, then stack another row of 8 on top, and continue until you have 7 rows. Count all the blocks together to see if you get 56. This hands-on activity helps you visualize multiplication as repeated addition.
Multiplication Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your house or classroom to find groups of 8 items. For example, you might find 8 crayons, 8 books, or 8 toy cars. Once you find a group, count how many groups of 8 you can find. Can you find 7 groups of 8? If so, you have 56 items in total! This activity helps you see multiplication in everyday objects.
