Overview
Your student will be learning:
- Arrays and skip counting are ways to model multiplication.
Example: 3 x 6 is the same as:
- 3 groups of 6 = 18
- 6 + 6 + 6 = 18
- An array for 3 x 6 = 18
- Numbers can be multiplied in any order and the product will remain the same.
Example: 3 X 6 = 18 and 6 X 3 = 18
- The vocabulary words factor and product.
- There are many different patterns that can be used in multiplication.
Example: If your child knows their 2s, they can double the 2s to find 4s.
4 x 6 can be thought of as (2 x 6) + (2 x 6), 12 + 12 = 24.
