Of course! Let's solve all the multiplication problems shown on the dog bone-shaped cards in the image. I'll go row by row and explain each answer.
---
Row 1:
-
2 × 2 = 4
→ 2 groups of 2 is 4. (2 + 2 = 4)
-
3 × 2 = 6
→ 3 groups of 2 is 6. (2 + 2 + 2 = 6)
---
Row 2:
-
2 × 1 = 2
→ Any number multiplied by 1 stays the same. So 2 × 1 = 2.
-
4 × 2 = 8
→ 4 groups of 2 is 8. (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8)
---
Row 3:
-
3 × 3 = 9
→ 3 groups of 3 is 9. (3 + 3 + 3 = 9)
-
5 × 2 = 10
→ 5 groups of 2 is 10. (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10)
-
4 × 1 = 4
→ Any number × 1 = itself → 4.
---
Row 4:
-
2 × 5 = 10
→ Same as 5 × 2 — multiplication is commutative. 2 groups of 5 = 10.
-
2 × 3 = 6
→ 2 groups of 3 = 6. (3 + 3 = 6)
-
6 × 1 = 6
→ Any number × 1 = itself → 6.
---
Row 5:
-
2 × 4 = 8
→ 2 groups of 4 = 8. (4 + 4 = 8)
-
5 × 0 = 0
→ Any number multiplied by 0 equals 0. So 5 × 0 = 0.
-
8 × 1 = 8
→ Any number × 1 = itself → 8.
---
Row 6:
-
1 × 2 = 2
→ 1 group of 2 = 2.
-
3 × 0 = 0
→ Any number × 0 = 0.
-
9 × 0 = 0
→ Again, anything times 0 is 0.
---
Row 7:
-
7 × 1 = 7
→ Any number × 1 = itself → 7.
-
1 × 8 = 8
→ 1 group of 8 = 8. (Same as 8 × 1.)
-
10 × 1 = 10
→ Any number × 1 = itself → 10.

Key Rules Used:
-
Multiplication by 1: Any number × 1 = itself.
-
Multiplication by 0: Any number × 0 = 0.
-
Commutative Property: a × b = b × a (e.g., 2×5 = 5×2).
