See how easy it is to multiply by 1? You can practice more with your toys or snacks at home. Remember, multiplying by 1 means you have the same number!

  • Can you think of something you have one of, like a toy or a book? If you multiply it by 1, how many do you have? Why do you think the number stays the same?
  • Imagine you have one basket with some apples in it. If you multiply the number of apples by 1, how many apples do you have? Can you think of other things you might have one of that you could multiply by 1?
  • Why do you think multiplying by 1 is important to learn? Can you think of a time when you might use this in real life, like counting items or sharing with friends?
  1. Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your house or classroom. Find different objects and count how many there are. Then, multiply the number of objects by 1. Write down your findings. For example, if you find 3 chairs, multiply 3 by 1 and see that you still have 3 chairs!

  2. Story Time with Multiplication: Create your own short story using multiplication by 1. Think of a fun scenario, like having one basket with 7 apples. How many apples are there in total? Share your story with a friend or family member and ask them to solve it!

  3. Draw and Multiply: Draw a picture of a scene with different items, like a garden with flowers. Choose one type of item, count how many there are, and multiply by 1. Write the multiplication sentence next to your drawing. For example, if you draw 4 flowers, write “1 x 4 = 4” next to them.
