Absolutely! Let’s solve each problem step by step. The goal is to interpret the visual groups and write both a
repeated addition sentence (“___ groups of ___ = ___”) and a
multiplication sentence (“___ × ___ = ___”).

🟡 Row 1: Yellow Pentagons in Circles
- There are
4 circles (groups).
- Each circle has
3 pentagons.
- So:
4 groups of 3 = 12
- Multiplication:
4 × 3 = 12
✔ Answer:
>
4 groups of 3 = 12
>
4 × 3 = 12

❤️ Row 2: Red Hearts in Boxes
- There are
4 boxes (groups).
- Each box has
5 hearts.
- So:
4 groups of 5 = 20
- Multiplication:
4 × 5 = 20
✔ Answer:
>
4 groups of 5 = 20
>
4 × 5 = 20

🔵 Row 3: Blue Waves in Ovals
- There are
5 ovals (groups).
- Each oval has
3 waves.
- So:
5 groups of 3 = 15
- Multiplication:
5 × 3 = 15
✔ Answer:
>
5 groups of 3 = 15
>
5 × 3 = 15

🟢 Row 4: Green Dots in Squares
- There are
3 squares (groups).
- Each square has
6 dots (2 rows of 3).
- So:
3 groups of 6 = 18
- Multiplication:
3 × 6 = 18
✔ Answer:
>
3 groups of 6 = 18
>
3 × 6 = 18
---
🟠 Row 5: Yellow Circles in Rectangles
- There are
6 rectangles (groups).
- Each rectangle has
2 circles.
- So:
6 groups of 2 = 12
- Multiplication:
6 × 2 = 12
✔ Answer:
>
6 groups of 2 = 12
>
6 × 2 = 12
---
⚡ Row 6: Yellow Lightning Bolts in Ovals
- There are
2 ovals (groups).
- Each oval has
3 lightning bolts.
- So:
2 groups of 3 = 6
- Multiplication:
2 × 3 = 6
✔ Answer:
>
2 groups of 3 = 6
>
2 × 3 = 6

✔ Final Answers Summary:
| Row | Groups of | Multiplication |
|-----|-----------|----------------|
| 1 | 4 groups of 3 = 12 | 4 × 3 = 12 |
| 2 | 4 groups of 5 = 20 | 4 × 5 = 20 |
| 3 | 5 groups of 3 = 15 | 5 × 3 = 15 |
| 4 | 3 groups of 6 = 18 | 3 × 6 = 18 |
| 5 | 6 groups of 2 = 12 | 6 × 2 = 12 |
| 6 | 2 groups of 3 = 6 | 2 × 3 = 6 |

📌
Key Concept: Multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition. When you see “X groups of Y”, you multiply X × Y to find the total.
Let me know if you’d like this turned into a printable answer sheet or explained with drawings! 😊
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of repeated addition for 3rd grade.
