ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 7×12=84
Let’s learn about a fun math fact! When you multiply seven by twelve, you get eighty-four. This is written as 7 x 12 = 84. Multiplication is like adding the same number many times. Here, we are adding twelve, seven times.
To understand this better, let’s count by twelves:
When we count by twelves, we see that the seventh number is eighty-four. That’s why 7 x 12 equals 84!
Multiplication helps us solve problems faster. Instead of adding twelve seven times, we can multiply to find the answer quickly. This is very helpful when we have big numbers or many items to count.
Try practicing with other numbers. For example, what is 5 x 12? Or 8 x 12? Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a multiplication master!
Did you know that multiplication is used in many things we do every day? From cooking to playing games, multiplication helps us figure out how much we need or how many times something happens.
Keep practicing your multiplication, and you’ll find it becomes easier and more fun!
Multiplication Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find items 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. Then, use multiplication to find the total number of items. For instance, if you find 3 egg cartons with 12 eggs each, calculate 3 x 12 to find out how many eggs there are in total.
Draw and Color Arrays: Use paper and colored pencils to draw arrays that represent multiplication problems. For example, draw an array for 7 x 12 by making 7 rows with 12 dots in each row. Count the dots to see how multiplication works. Try creating arrays for other multiplication facts, like 5 x 12 or 8 x 12, and color them in different patterns.
Story Time with Multiplication: Create a short story or comic strip where characters use multiplication in their adventures. Maybe they are baking cookies and need to multiply the ingredients, or they are organizing a party and need to figure out how many balloons to buy. Share your story with a friend or family member and explain how multiplication helped solve the problem in your story.
