Module 33: Multiplication Intro-Math 2B - Course Guide

Module Overview:

Students will understand that the “x” symbol means multiplication, understand that multiplication means you have a certain number of groups the same size, and use visuals to understand repeated addition. Students will understand that one times a number (or group) is that number. Students will define an array and use an array to multiply and relate it to repeated addition. They will understand that multiplication can be thought of as the repeated addition of equal groups and identify and match pictures to the correct multiplication or repeated addition equation.
