Hello, my wizard friend! What are you up to today? Can I help you? Wow, look at all these magic wands! My friends went to the playground, and I’m trying to count them, but there are so many that I can’t figure it out. I know an easy way to count all these wands. Do you want me to show you how to multiply?
Let’s learn how to count all these magic wands using multiplication. Multiplying is like adding the same number over and over again. It’s a math operation you’ll use a lot, and it’s easy, you’ll see!
Imagine there are four hats, and each hat has three wands. How can we find out how many wands there are in total? We can do it in two ways: adding or multiplying.
We can add like this: three wands plus three more wands plus three more plus three more. Or we can multiply: three wands multiplied by four hats. Both ways give us the same answer: twelve. So, multiplying is like adding the same number several times. That’s it!
Let’s look at another example. Imagine you need to buy three toads for your magic potions class. If each toad costs two coins, how many coins do you need to buy three of them? It’s very simple!
We can add like this: two coins plus two coins plus two coins, which equals six coins. Or we can multiply: three toads by two coins each, which also equals six coins. This means three toads cost six coins.
Do you see how fast you can count now that you know how to multiply? It’s incredible! My friends are going to be amazed.
And what do we call these multiplication numbers? The numbers we multiply are called factors, and the answer is the product. It’s also important to know that the order in which we multiply the factors doesn’t matter. Even if we switch the order, we still get the same result.
Let’s see how this works with this example: three by five, which is the same as three plus three plus three plus three plus three, equals fifteen. And five by three, which is the same as five plus five plus five, also equals fifteen. This means that the result of multiplying three by five is the same as multiplying five by three: fifteen. We call this the commutative property of multiplication, which means that the order of factors does not change the product.
It’s that easy! What an amazing trick! Now you know how to multiply, and you’ll be surprised how often you’ll use this math operation. If you learn the multiplication tables, you’ll be unbeatable!

Magic Wand Hunt: Go on a magic wand hunt around your house or classroom! Find small objects like pencils, crayons, or sticks that can be your magic wands. Group them into sets, like 2 groups of 4 wands or 3 groups of 3 wands. Count how many wands you have in total by using multiplication. Can you find different ways to group them and still get the same total?
Toad Coin Challenge: Pretend you are buying toads for your magic potions class. Use coins or small objects as your currency. Set up a small shop where each toad costs 2 coins. Practice buying different numbers of toads and use multiplication to find out how many coins you need. For example, if you buy 4 toads, how many coins do you need? Try different numbers and see if you can find a pattern!
Commutative Property Experiment: Use building blocks or LEGO pieces to explore the commutative property of multiplication. Create two different arrays, like 3 rows of 4 blocks and 4 rows of 3 blocks. Count the total number of blocks in each array. Are they the same? Discuss why the order of multiplication doesn’t change the product and how this can help you solve multiplication problems faster.

Hello, my wizard friend! What are you doing? Can I help you? Have you seen how many wands I have here? My friends went to the playground, and I’m trying to count them, but there are so many that I can’t figure it out. I know an easy way to count all these wands. Do you want me to show you how to multiply?
Together, we’re going to count all these magic wands thanks to the math operation of multiplication. Multiplying is like adding the same number several times. It’s a math operation you’ll be doing a lot, day after day. It’s easy, you’ll see!
As you can see, there are four hats and three wands in each one of them. How can we work out how many wands there are altogether? We can try two ways: adding or multiplying.
We can calculate it like this: three wands plus three more wands plus three more plus three more, or three wands multiplied by four hats. Both ways will give us the same result: twelve. So, to multiply is to add up several times the same numbers, right? That’s it!
Let’s look at another example. Imagine you need to buy three toads for your magic potions class. If each toad costs two coins, how many coins do you need to buy three of them? It’s very simple! We can add up this way: two coins plus two coins plus two coins, which equals six coins, or we can multiply three toads by two coins each, which also equals six coins. This means three toads cost six coins.
Do you see how fast you can count now that you know how to multiply? It’s incredible! My friends are going to be amazed.
And how do you call these multiplication numbers? You mean the parts of multiplication? The numbers to be multiplied are called factors, and the answer is the product. It’s also important to know that the order in which we multiply the factors is not significant. Even if we switch that order, we’d still get the same result.
Let’s see how this works with this example: three by five, which is the same as three plus three plus three plus three plus three, equals fifteen. And five by three, which is the same as five plus five plus five, also equals fifteen. This means that the result of multiplying three by five is the same as multiplying five by three: fifteen. We call this the commutative property of multiplication, which means that the order of factors does not change the product.
It’s that easy! What an amazing trick! Now you know how to multiply, and you’ll be surprised how often you’re going to do this math operation. If you learn the multiplication tables, you’ll be unbeatable!
