Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn a fun math fact. Did you know that when you multiply 8 by 12, you get 96? That’s right! 8 times 12 equals 96. Let’s explore this a bit more.
One way to understand multiplication is by counting in groups. Let’s count by eights together:
See how we reached 96 when we counted twelve groups of 8? That’s why 8 times 12 equals 96!
Another way to see this is by using a number line. Imagine jumping 8 steps at a time on a number line. If you jump 12 times, you’ll land on 96. Try drawing a number line and see for yourself!
Now that you know 8 times 12 is 96, try practicing with other numbers. You can use counting, number lines, or even draw pictures to help you understand multiplication better. The more you practice, the easier it will become!
Did you know that multiplication is just a faster way of adding the same number over and over again? So, 8 times 12 is like adding 8 together 12 times. Cool, right?
Keep practicing and have fun with math! Remember, learning can be an exciting adventure.
Group Counting Game: Gather some small objects like blocks or coins. Create groups of 8 objects each. Count how many groups you need to make 96 objects in total. How many groups did you make? Can you find other ways to group them to reach the same total?
Number Line Hop: Draw a large number line on the ground using chalk or on paper. Start at zero and hop forward in steps of 8. Count each hop out loud. How many hops do you need to reach 96? Try hopping in different step sizes, like 4 or 12, and see where you land.
Multiplication Art: Create a picture using repeated patterns. For example, draw 12 rows of 8 stars. Count all the stars to see how multiplication works in art. Can you create a different picture using the same multiplication fact?
