ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 7 x 8 = 56
Multiplication is like adding the same number over and over again. When we say “seven times eight,” it means we are adding the number eight, seven times. Let’s see how that works!
When we multiply seven by eight, we get fifty-six. So, 7 x 8 = 56. This is a math fact that is very helpful to remember. Knowing this fact can make solving math problems easier and faster.
One way to understand multiplication is by counting in groups. Let’s count by eights:
When we reach 56, we have counted eight, seven times. That’s why 7 x 8 = 56!
Did you know that multiplication is like a shortcut for addition? Instead of adding 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8, we can just say 7 x 8. It’s much quicker!
Try practicing this math fact with your friends or family. You can even make a game out of it! The more you practice, the easier it will be to remember.
Now that you know 7 x 8 = 56, try learning other multiplication facts. They will help you with math problems in school and in everyday life. Happy multiplying!
Multiplication Art: Create a multiplication art project! Gather some colored paper, scissors, and glue. Cut out 56 small squares or circles. Group them into 7 sets of 8 and glue them onto a larger piece of paper. Count the groups together and see how they form the multiplication fact 7 x 8 = 56. Display your artwork at home or in the classroom to remind you of this math fact!
Number Line Jump: Draw a number line from 0 to 56 on a long piece of paper or use chalk outside. Start at 0 and make jumps of 8 until you reach 56. Count each jump out loud. How many jumps did it take to reach 56? This activity helps you visualize how multiplication is like repeated addition.
Real-Life Multiplication Hunt: Go on a multiplication hunt around your house or classroom. Look for items that come in groups of 8, like crayons, markers, or toy blocks. Count how many groups of 8 you can find and multiply to see if you can reach 56. For example, if you find 3 groups of 8 crayons, how many crayons do you have in total? (Hint: 3 x 8 = 24)
