Students count groups of objects to write both an addition sentence and its related multiplication fact.

You're working on a worksheet titled “Addition & Multiplication” that asks you to complete both an addition number sentence and a related multiplication number sentence for each row, based on the groups of objects shown.

Let’s go through each row one by one and solve it step-by-step.

---

🔢 Row 1: Stars (⭐)

- You see 3 groups, each with 3 stars.
- Addition: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
- Multiplication: 3 groups × 3 stars each = 3 × 3 = 9

✔ Answer:
> Addition: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
> Multiplication: 3 × 3 = 9

---

🔴 Row 2: Dots (🔴)

- You see 4 groups, each with 4 dots.
- Addition: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
- Multiplication: 4 groups × 4 dots each = 4 × 4 = 16

✔ Answer:
> Addition: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
> Multiplication: 4 × 4 = 16

---

💗 Row 3: Hearts (💗)

- You see 4 groups, each with 5 hearts.
- Addition: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
- Multiplication: 4 groups × 5 hearts each = 4 × 5 = 20

✔ Answer:
> Addition: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
> Multiplication: 4 × 5 = 20

---

🟨 Row 4: Triangles (🔺)

- You see 5 groups, each with 4 triangles.
- Addition: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20
- Multiplication: 5 groups × 4 triangles each = 5 × 4 = 20

✔ Answer:
> Addition: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20
> Multiplication: 5 × 4 = 20

---

🔵 Row 5: Rectangles (🔵)

- You see 5 groups, each with 3 rectangles.
- Addition: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
- Multiplication: 5 groups × 3 rectangles each = 5 × 3 = 15

✔ Answer:
> Addition: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
> Multiplication: 5 × 3 = 15

---

🌞 Row 6: Crescents (🌙 — actually yellow crescents)

- You see 3 groups, each with 6 crescents.
- Addition: 6 + 6 + 6 = 18
- Multiplication: 3 groups × 6 crescents each = 3 × 6 = 18

✔ Answer:
> Addition: 6 + 6 + 6 = 18
> Multiplication: 3 × 6 = 18

---

🍁 Row 7: Leaves (🍁)

- You see 4 groups, each with 5 leaves.
- Addition: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
- Multiplication: 4 groups × 5 leaves each = 4 × 5 = 20

✔ Answer:
> Addition: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
> Multiplication: 4 × 5 = 20

## 🧠 Key Concept Explained:

This worksheet teaches the relationship between repeated addition and multiplication.

> ✔ Multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition.

For example:
- Instead of writing `3 + 3 + 3`, you can write `3 × 3`.
- The first number in multiplication (`3`) tells you how many groups.
- The second number (`3`) tells you how many items are in each group.

This foundational idea helps build understanding for more complex math later!

## ✔ Final Answers Summary:

| Row | Addition Sentence | Multiplication Sentence |
|-----|--------------------------|--------------------------|
| 1 | 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 | 3 × 3 = 9 |
| 2 | 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 | 4 × 4 = 16 |
| 3 | 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 | 4 × 5 = 20 |
| 4 | 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20 | 5 × 4 = 20 |
| 5 | 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15 | 5 × 3 = 15 |
| 6 | 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 | 3 × 6 = 18 |
| 7 | 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 | 4 × 5 = 20 |
