Similar to addition, multiplication is an operation wherein we find the total.
If you multiply one number to another number (except 0 or 1), you will get a larger answer. Multiplying numbers means repeatedly adding an amount until a certain number of times.

Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

  • At the end of the lesson, the student will learn how to interpret products of whole numbers visually.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER

  • When multiplying visually, take note of the following:
    • You may list the factors into rows and columns.
    • You may organize the factors into groups.
    • You may draw an array of factors.
    • Remember that the multiplicand and multiplier are factors that achieve a product.

THEORY

  • Similar to addition, multiplication is an operation wherein we find the total.
  • If you multiply one number to another number (except 0 or 1), you will get a larger answer. Multiplying numbers means repeatedly adding an amount until a certain number of times. The numbers in a multiplication equation are called factors. The multiplicand is the factor that is being multiplied. The multiplier is the factor that dictates how many times the multiplicand will be multiplied. The multiplicand multiplied by the multiplier will produce a total called the product.
  • We can multiply numbers visually by interpreting them into rows and columns, groups and arrays.
  • Consider 3 x 4 = 12

  • We can see above that there are 3 rows of dots. Each row has 4 columns. Counting all the dots will result in 12 dots.
  • Therefore, row x column = product

  • We can see above that there are 3 large circles having 4 sticks inside.
  • Adding all the sticks in the groups together will have a total of 12 sticks.
  • Therefore, 3 groups of 4 sticks means 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

  • We can see above that there is a large rectangle partitioned into 12 smaller units. Visually, it is divided into 3 rows and 4 columns.
  • Row x Column = Product, therefore, this array can also show the same product.
