Equal Groups
Multiplication adds equal groups
Loading...
How do you count several groups that all hold the same amount, without counting one by one? Tap the groups one at a time; once all are counted, the repeated-addition equation and the multiplication equation appear side by side, making the link between adding equal groups and multiplication plain to see. Switch between Guided, Standard and Challenge to try bigger numbers.
Split objects into groups that all have the same amount, then tap each group to count along. How many groups and how many in each—the total is repeated addition, and that is exactly what multiplication means.
