| Model | Repeated Addition | Multiplication |
|------|-------------------|----------------|
| 1 (Apples) | $ 4 + 4 = 8 $ | $ 2 \times 4 = 8 $ |
| 2 (Oranges) | $ 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 $ | $ 3 \times 3 = 9 $ |
| 3 (Strawberries) | $ 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 $ | $ 4 \times 2 = 8 $ |
| 4 (Beach Balls) | $ 5 + 5 = 10 $ | $ 2 \times 5 = 10 $ |
| 5 (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{number in each group} = \text{total} $

This helps students understand that multiplication is just faster addition! 🍎🍊🍓🏖️🍉
