Description – This video will give an overview of fundamentals of multiplication through simple examples and clear explanations. The video begins with the introduction to multiplication and demonstrates multiplication as a faster way to do repeated addition. Then, it moves onto the multiplication table and memorization of multiplication tables. Then, we learn about the different properties of multiplication and apply multiplication to real life problems.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to multiplication for kids. I’m Nathan, and I have my friends here with me today. I’m Gaia. I’m Nisa.

And I’m Chad. So let’s get into multiplication for kids. Alright. So Just chat with the essential question. Alright.

So, about essential questions, we are going to learn through these slides, and these are the questions. First, what is multiplication? Why is multiplication important? Why are some fun way what are some fun ways to learn multiplication? What are multiplication facts, and why do we need to memorize them?

How can we practice multiplication effectively? How can we make multiplication a part of our daily lives? How can we use multiplication in problem solving? So imagine this. Right?

It’s Halloween, and you just got done trick or treating with your friends. You all pile your candy together, and you wanna count up how much you have in total. So we could just count up all the pieces, like one plus one plus one all the way up to six like we’ve been doing, but there’s a better way to do it, and that is with multiplication, which is what we’re gonna be learning. So we’re gonna do four lessons, and lesson one is going to be introduction to multiplication. Lesson two is going to be memorize memorizing the multiplication table.

Lesson three is going to be properties of multiplication simplified, and lesson four, applying multiplication to real life problems. So for lesson one, we are just going to introduce the multiplication. So let’s imagine you have three boxes of crayons and each box has four crayons. Okay. Next slide.

And you can just add them all up and get 12. But instead of adding, we can use a shortcut, which is multiplication. We can multiply three by four and get the same answer as before, which is 12. And multiplication is an easier way to do the repeated addition. Alright.

So lesson two, memorizing multiplication table. So this is the table where it shows, from one times one to one times 12 to 12 times one to 12 times 12. So by memorizing that, multiplication table, these are the benefits. First, time management. Whenever you guys are taking a test or math quizzes in class, you guys can save so much time if you guys memorize the multiplication table.

Second, better performance in school. In school math classes, you guys will do so much better perform other than, like, students who did not memorize the multiplication table. Third, enhance the problem solving skills. Knowing multiplication facts can help in solving word problems and mathematical puzzles more efficiently. Lastly, boosted confidence.

Messy of the multiplication table can increase a learner’s confidence in their math abilities. In lesson three, you will be taught, the properties of multiplication. So there are three properties, also known as rules, you need to know when learning multiplication. The first rule is associative. The associative rule means that the result of a multiplication problem will be the same, regardless of where you place the brackets.

The second rule is commutative. The commutative rule means that the order of a multiplication problem does not matter. So for example, in this picture, three groups of two apples have an equal number of apples to two groups of three apples. The last rule is distributive. The distributive property means that you can distribute multiplication to each number in a bracketed sum.

Alright. And then for lesson four, we’re just gonna talk about some real life problems and how multiplication could apply in daily life. Some of the learning activities we’re gonna get into includes, like, an online math game, some real life multiplication, practice problems, personal a personal reflection, and a business scenario. So what should we know by the end of this course? So first, we should be able to explain the principles of multiplication using the principles of addition.

Second, we should be able to remember the multiplication table from number one to 12. Third, we should know what the associative, commutative, and distributive properties mean. And lastly, we should be able to explain and discuss the multiplication, in relation to real life. Alright. Thank you guys for watching, and we hope that you enjoyed the course.
