Students were given the opportunity to use various manipulatives and other resources to recognise that multiplication is repeated addition.
Students also realised that they can multiply numbers in any order and get the same result.
In order to understand the operation of multiplication as repeated addition children took part in various hands on activities.
Students are engaged and understand better when using manipulatives. As the photos show, they enjoy learning this subject. Maths can be fun after all 🙂
