ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 8 x 8 = 64
Multiplication is a way to add the same number many times. It’s like having a group of things and adding more groups of the same size. For example, if you have 8 groups of 8 apples, you can use multiplication to find out how many apples you have in total.
When we multiply 8 by 8, we get 64. This means if you have 8 groups with 8 items in each group, you will have 64 items altogether. Let’s count by eights to see how it works:
Let’s count together: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, and finally 64! When you reach 64, you’ve counted eight times. That’s why 8 times 8 equals 64.
Did you know? Multiplication is like a shortcut for adding the same number over and over. Instead of adding 8 eight times, you can just multiply 8 by 8 to get 64!
Try practicing with other numbers. What is 3 times 4? Or 5 times 6? The more you practice, the better you’ll get at multiplication!
Now you know that 8 times 8 equals 64. Remember, multiplication is a fun and easy way to add the same number many times. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a math whiz in no time!
Apple Grouping Activity: Gather 64 small objects, like buttons or blocks, and pretend they are apples. Divide them into 8 equal groups. How many “apples” are in each group? Try rearranging them into different numbers of groups, like 4 groups or 2 groups, and see how the number of “apples” in each group changes. Discuss why the total number of “apples” stays the same.
Counting by Eights Game: Play a counting game with a friend or family member. Take turns counting by eights out loud, starting from 8 and going up to 64. You can use your fingers to keep track of how many times you’ve counted. Try to do it faster each time. Can you reach 64 without making a mistake?
Multiplication Story Time: Create a short story or draw a picture about a character who has 8 baskets, each with 8 apples. What happens to the apples? Do they share them with friends, or do they make a giant apple pie? Share your story or picture with the class and explain how multiplication helped you find out the total number of apples.
