If Amy had 3 cats and each one had 4 legs, how could we find how many legs all the cats had?
=4 legs =4 legs + =4 legs =12 legs
Another way to figure out the answer is to multiply. Multiplication is a fast way to add equal numbers. Since all 3 cats have 4 legs, instead of adding them together, we could multiply.
4 legs X 3 cats 12 legs
How many legs altogether would two boys have?
Can you think of a multiplication problem that shows this?
2 legs 2 boys X 4 legs
If a crayon box holds 7 crayons, how many crayons would 2 boxes hold?
Can you think of a multiplication problem that shows this?

Multiplication involves sets of objects. Can you write a multiplcation problem for these sets? I think I can do it!
On your paper, draw sets to represent each of the following multiplication problems. Then solve the problems. Click on the to find the answer.
2 X 9= 5 X 1= 5 X 5= 4 X 0= 8 X 1= 6 X 4=
2 X 9=18 Let’s try another!
5 X 5= Let’s try another!
8 X 1= Let’s try another!
5 X 1= Let’s try another!
4 X 0= Let’s try another!
