ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Multiplication & Division – 8 x 9 = 72
Multiplication is a way to add the same number many times. It’s like counting groups of things. For example, if you have 8 groups of 9 apples, you can use multiplication to find out how many apples there are in total.
Let’s learn about the multiplication fact: 8 times 9 equals 72. This means if you have 8 groups and each group has 9 things, you will have 72 things altogether.
One way to understand this is by counting by nines. Let’s try it:
When you count by nines eight times, you reach 72!
To remember that 8 times 9 equals 72, you can practice saying it out loud: “Eight times nine equals seventy-two.” The more you practice, the easier it will be to remember.
Did you know that multiplication is like a shortcut for addition? Instead of adding 9 eight times (9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9), you can just multiply 8 by 9 to get 72!
Now you know that 8 times 9 equals 72. Keep practicing your multiplication facts, and soon you’ll be a math whiz!
Apple Grouping Activity: Gather 72 small objects like buttons, beads, or paper clips. Divide them into 8 groups. Ask yourself, “How many objects are in each group?” Count to confirm there are 9 objects in each group. This hands-on activity helps you see how multiplication works in real life.
Skip Counting Hopscotch: Create a hopscotch grid with numbers counting by nines (9, 18, 27, etc., up to 72) using chalk outside or tape indoors. Hop on each number while saying it out loud. This will help you practice counting by nines and reinforce the concept of multiplication.
Multiplication Story Time: Create a short story or draw a picture about 8 friends each having 9 balloons. How many balloons are there in total? Share your story or drawing with a family member or friend and explain how you used multiplication to find the answer.
