Let’s solve each multiplication problem one by one. I’ll go row by row, left to right.
---
Row 1:
1. 2 × 2 =
4
(Two groups of two: 2 + 2 = 4)
2. 3 × 2 =
6
(Three groups of two: 2 + 2 + 2 = 6)
3. 5 × 3 =
15
(Five groups of three: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15)
4. 4 × 4 =
16
(Four groups of four: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16)
5. 2 × 9 =
18
(Two groups of nine: 9 + 9 = 18)
---
Row 2:
6. 5 × 4 =
20
(Five groups of four: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20)
7. 6 × 7 =
42
(Six groups of seven: 7×6 — you can think 7+7+7+7+7+7 = 42)
8. 8 × 5 =
40
(Eight groups of five: 5×8 = 40 — easy! Five eights are forty.)
9. 7 × 4 =
28
(Seven groups of four: 4+4+4+4+4+4+4 = 28)
10. 9 × 3 =
27
(Nine groups of three: 3×9 = 27 — or 9+9+9 = 27)
---
Row 3:
11. 4 × 3 =
12
(Four groups of three: 3+3+3+3 = 12)
12. 7 × 7 =
49
(Seven times seven — a common fact: 7×7=49)
13. 5 × 7 =
35
(Five groups of seven: 7+7+7+7+7 = 35)
14. 8 × 8 =
64
(Eight times eight — another common fact: 8×8=64)
15. 3 × 6 =
18
