NC.3.OA.1

For products of whole numbers with two factors up to and including 10:

• Interpret the factors as representing the number of equal groups and the number of objects in each group.
• Illustrate and explain strategies including arrays, repeated addition, decomposing a factor, and applying the commutative and associative properties.
