Multiplication Statements

Learn how to turn equal groups and arrays into multiplication number sentences using factors, a multiplication sign, and a product.

What You'll Learn

Identify the parts of a multiplication statement: the factors and the product, such as \( 3 \times 4 = 12 \)

Write a multiplication statement from a picture of equal groups or an array of rows and columns

Recognize that the multiplication sign \( \times \) means "groups of" when reading a statement aloud

Apply the turnaround fact to see that \( 3 \times 4 \) and \( 4 \times 3 \) give the same product

Compare a multiplication statement to its matching repeated addition sentence, like \( 4+4+4=12 \)

Solve simple worksheet problems by filling in the missing factor or product in a number sentence

What You'll Practice

Selecting expressions that match visual multiplication models

Completing multiplication statements by filling in missing numbers
