Let's solve each section of the worksheet step by step, using the
example given at the top as a guide.
---
🔹 Example (Ladybugs):
- There are
3 groups of ladybugs.
- Each group has
6 ladybugs.
- So:
$ 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 $
$ 3 \times 6 = 18 $
This shows that
repeated addition equals
multiplication:
> Number of groups × number in each group = total
We’ll apply this pattern to all sections.

##
✔ Section 1: Houses
There are
4 groups of houses.
Each group has
3 houses.
So:
- Repeated addition:
$ 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 $
- Multiplication:
$ 4 \times 3 = 12 $
✔ Answer:
$ 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 $
$ 4 \times 3 = 12 $

##
✔ Section 2: Beach Balls
There are
5 groups of beach balls.
Each group has
4 beach balls.
So:
- Repeated addition:
$ 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20 $
- Multiplication:
$ 5 \times 4 = 20 $
✔ Answer:
$ 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20 $
$ 5 \times 4 = 20 $

##
✔ Section 3: Butterflies
There are
2 groups of butterflies.
Each group has
6 butterflies.
So:
- Repeated addition:
$ 6 + 6 = 12 $
- Multiplication:
$ 2 \times 6 = 12 $
✔ Answer:
$ 6 + 6 = 12 $
$ 2 \times 6 = 12 $

##
✔ Section 4: Cupcakes
There are
6 groups of cupcakes.
Each group has
2 cupcakes.
So:
- Repeated addition:
$ 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12 $
- Multiplication:
$ 6 \times 2 = 12 $
✔ Answer:
$ 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12 $
$ 6 \times 2 = 12 $
---
##
✔ Section 5: Frogs
There are
3 groups of frogs.
Each group has
4 frogs.
So:
- Repeated addition:
$ 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 $
- Multiplication:
$ 3 \times 4 = 12 $
✔ Answer:
$ 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 $
$ 3 \times 4 = 12 $

$ 2 \times 6 = 12 $
####
Cupcakes:
$ 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12 $
$ 6 \times 2 = 12 $
####
Frogs:
$ 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 $
$ 3 \times 4 = 12 $

✔ Summary Concept:
This worksheet teaches
multiplication as repeated addition.
You count how many items are in each group, and how many groups there are, then write both the addition and multiplication sentence.
