Let's solve each problem on the worksheet step by step. The goal is to
write repeated addition for each group of equal items.
---
1. First Row – Left Side (Cupcakes)
- There are
10 circles, each with
2 cupcakes.
- So, we add 2 ten times:
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 20
✔ Answer:
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 20
---
2. First Row – Right Side (Teacups)
- There are
4 groups, each with
4 teacups.
- So, add 4 four times:
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
✔ Answer:
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
---
3. Second Row – Left Side (Strawberries)
- There are
3 groups, each with
8 strawberries.
- Add 8 three times:
8 + 8 + 8 = 24
✔ Answer:
8 + 8 + 8 = 24
---
4. Second Row – Right Side (Bread Loaves)
- There are
7 groups, each with
3 loaves.
- Add 3 seven times:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21
✔ Answer:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21
---
5. Third Row – Left Side (Peas in Pods)
- There are
7 groups, each with
5 peas.
- Add 5 seven times:
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 35
✔ Answer:
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 35
---
6. Third Row – Right Side (Pies)
- There are
3 groups, each with
6 pies.
- Add 6 three times:
6 + 6 + 6 = 18
✔ Answer:
6 + 6 + 6 = 18
---
7. Fourth Row – Left Side (Teddy Bears)
- There are
7 groups, each with
3 teddy bears.
- Add 3 seven times:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21
✔ Answer:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21
---
8. Fourth Row – Right Side (Cherries)
- There are
2 groups, each with
6 cherries.
- Add 6 two times:
6 + 6 = 12
✔ Answer:
6 + 6 = 12
---
✔ Final Answers:

| Teacups | 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 =
16 |
| Strawberries | 8 + 8 + 8 =
24 |
| Bread | 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 =
21 |
| Peas | 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 =
35 |
| Pies | 6 + 6 + 6 =
18 |
| Teddy Bears | 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 =
21 |
| Cherries | 6 + 6 =
12 |

🔍 Explanation:
This worksheet teaches
repeated addition as a way to understand multiplication. Each group has the same number of items, so instead of counting one by one, we can add that number repeatedly. For example:
- 3 groups of 8 strawberries → 8 + 8 + 8 = 24
- This is the same as 3 × 8 = 24
It’s a foundational skill for learning multiplication!
