Multiplying by 1 is super easy and fun! When you multiply any number by 1, the answer is always the same number. Let’s see how it works with some examples:
Let’s imagine some fun stories to help us understand multiplying by 1:
There is one cart. There are five ice creams in the cart. How many ice creams are there in all? That’s right, there are 5 ice creams!
There is one plate. There are eight pieces of sushi on the plate. How many pieces are there in all? Yes, there are 8 pieces of sushi!
There is one crib. There are 12 teddy bears in the crib. How many teddy bears are there in all? You got it, there are 12 teddy bears!
Let’s practice some more:
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!
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!
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!
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.
