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:
3 groups, each with 3 oranges → $ 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:
4 groups, each with 2 strawberries → $ 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:
2 groups, each with 5 balls → $ 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:
4 groups, each with 3 watermelons → $ 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 |
|------|-------------------|----------------|
| 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.
- The first number in multiplication is the number of groups, and the second is the size of each group.

This helps students understand that multiplication is just a faster way to add equal groups! 🍎🍊🍓🏐🍉
