Absolutely! Let’s solve each problem step by step, counting the objects in each group and writing both the
repeated addition and
multiplication expressions.

🧁 Cupcakes (Top Right)
- There are
3 groups of cupcakes.
- Each group has
3 cupcakes.
- So, repeated addition:
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
- Multiplication:
3 × 3 = 9
✔ Answer:
```
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
3 × 3 = 9
```

⚽ Soccer Balls (Middle Left)
- There are
2 groups of soccer balls.
- Each group has
4 soccer balls.
- Repeated addition:
4 + 4 = 8
- Multiplication:
2 × 4 = 8
✔ Answer:
```
4 + 4 = 8
2 × 4 = 8
```

🐟 Fish (Middle Right)
- There are
5 groups of fish.
- Each group has
3 fish.
- Repeated addition:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
- Multiplication:
5 × 3 = 15
✔ Answer:
```
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
5 × 3 = 15
```

🍩 Donuts (Bottom Left)
- There are
4 groups of donuts.
- Each group has
3 donuts.
- Repeated addition:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
- Multiplication:
4 × 3 = 12
✔ Answer:
```
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
4 × 3 = 12
```
---
🍅 Tomatoes (Bottom Right)
- There are
4 groups of tomatoes.
- Each group has
4 tomatoes.
- Repeated addition:
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
- Multiplication:
4 × 4 = 16
✔ Answer:
```
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
4 × 4 = 16
```

✔ Final Completed Worksheet:
```
Cupcakes:
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
3 × 3 = 9
Soccer Balls:
4 + 4 = 8
2 × 4 = 8
Fish:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
5 × 3 = 15
Donuts:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
4 × 3 = 12
Tomatoes:
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
4 × 4 = 16
```

## 💡 Key Concept:
Multiplication is a shortcut for
repeated addition. When you have equal groups, you can multiply the number in each group by the number of groups to find the total.
Example: 3 groups of 4 → 3 × 4 = 12 → same as 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.
