## 🎯
Task: Solve the multiplication problems using “Multiplication as Repeated Addition”
The worksheet asks students to:
1. Solve a multiplication problem (e.g., 4 × 6 = ?)
2. Write it as repeated addition (e.g., 6 + 6 + 6 + 6)
3. Fill in how many times the number is added
4. Write the product
Let’s solve each visible problem on the worksheet:
---
✔ Problem 1: `4 x 6 =`
-
Repeated Addition: 6 + 6 + 6 + 6
-
Added ___ times: 4 times
-
Product: 24
> 💡 Explanation: 4 groups of 6 means adding 6 four times → 6+6+6+6 = 24
---
✔ Problem 2: `4 x 3 =`
-
Repeated Addition: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
-
Added ___ times: 4 times
-
Product: 12
> 💡 Explanation: 4 groups of 3 → 3 added 4 times = 12
---
✔ Problem 3: `7 x 2 =`
-
Repeated Addition: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
-
Added ___ times: 7 times
-
Product: 14
> 💡 Explanation: 7 groups of 2 → 2 added 7 times = 14

## 🍬 The Candy Corn Manipulative (Right Side)
This is a visual aid shaped like candy corn with 3 sections:
-
Top (White): Shows the multiplication equation → `6 x 4 = 24`
-
Middle (Orange): Shows “groups of” → “6 groups of 4” → which equals 24
-
Bottom (Yellow): Shows repeated addition → “4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4” (6 times)
It also has labels:
- “Ways To Show Multiplication”
- “Multiplication by Thinking Groups”
> 🧠 This helps students visualize that multiplication is just
adding equal groups — a foundational concept for understanding multiplication.

## 📌 Summary of Solutions:
| Problem | Repeated Addition | Added ___ times | Product |
|---------|--------------------------|------------------|---------|
| 4 × 6 | 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 | 4 | 24 |
| 4 × 3 | 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 | 4 | 12 |
| 7 × 2 | 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2| 7 | 14 |

## 🧩 Why This Method Works
Teaching multiplication as
repeated addition helps young learners:
- Connect multiplication to something they already know (addition)
- Build conceptual understanding before memorizing facts
- Visualize groups and quantities
Once students grasp this, they can move on to arrays, area models, and eventually multiplication tables.

✔ Final Answer:
All problems solved above using repeated addition.
Example completed candy corn shows:
6 × 4 = 24 → “6 groups of 4” → “4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4”
