1. Apples (2 rows of 4 apples)

- Repeated Addition:
There are 2 groups, each with 4 apples.
So: $ 4 + 4 = 8 $

- Multiplication:
2 groups of 4 → $ 2 \times 4 = 8 $

✔ Answer:
Repeated Addition: $ 4 + 4 = 8 $
Multiplication: $ 2 \times 4 = 8 $

---

2. Oranges (3 groups of 3 oranges)

- Repeated Addition:
Each group has 3 oranges, and there are 3 groups:
$ 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 $

- Multiplication:
3 groups of 3 → $ 3 \times 3 = 9 $

✔ Answer:
Repeated Addition: $ 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 $
Multiplication: $ 3 \times 3 = 9 $

3. Strawberries (4 groups of 2 strawberries)

- Repeated Addition:
Each group has 2 strawberries, and there are 4 groups:
$ 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 $

- Multiplication:
4 groups of 2 → $ 4 \times 2 = 8 $

✔ Answer:
Repeated Addition: $ 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 $
Multiplication: $ 4 \times 2 = 8 $

4. Beach balls (2 groups of 5 beach balls)

- Repeated Addition:
Each group has 5 beach balls, and there are 2 groups:
$ 5 + 5 = 10 $

- Multiplication:
2 groups of 5 → $ 2 \times 5 = 10 $

✔ Answer:
Repeated Addition: $ 5 + 5 = 10 $
Multiplication: $ 2 \times 5 = 10 $

5. Watermelons (4 groups of 3 watermelons)

- Repeated Addition:
Each group has 3 watermelons, and there are 4 groups:
$ 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 $

- Multiplication:
4 groups of 3 → $ 4 \times 3 = 12 $

✔ Answer:
Repeated Addition: $ 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 $
Multiplication: $ 4 \times 3 = 12 $

---

✔ Final Answers:

| Model | Repeated Addition | Multiplication |
|------|-------------------|----------------|
| Apples | $ 4 + 4 = 8 $ | $ 2 \times 4 = 8 $ |
| Oranges | $ 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 $ | $ 3 \times 3 = 9 $ |
| Strawberries | $ 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 $ | $ 4 \times 2 = 8 $ |
| Beach balls | $ 5 + 5 = 10 $ | $ 2 \times 5 = 10 $ |
| Watermelons | $ 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 $ | $ 4 \times 3 = 12 $ |

🔍 Explanation:

- Repeated Addition means adding the same number multiple times.
- Multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition:
$ \text{number of groups} \times \text{items per group} = \text{total} $

This helps students understand that multiplication is just a faster way to add equal groups.
