Equal Groups

Example

🍎🍎

Repeated Addition

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

Multiplication

3 × 2 = 6

Example

⭐⭐⭐

Repeated Addition

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

Multiplication

4 × 3 = 12

Period 2 – Repeated Addition

Example 1

2 + 2 + 2

3 × 2 = 6

Example 2

5 + 5

2 × 5 = 10

Example 3

4 + 4 + 4

3 × 4 = 12

Example 4

1 + 1 + 1 + 1

4 × 1 = 4

Example 5

3 + 3 + 3

3 × 3 = 9

Using Pictures

🍌🍌🍌

Two groups

Three bananas in each group

3 + 3 = 6

2 × 3 = 6

🐥🐥

Repeated Addition

2 + 2 + 2 + 2

= 8

Multiplication

Assessment

Oral Questions

What is multiplication?
What are equal groups?
What is repeated addition?
How many are there in 3 groups of 2?
What is 2 × 4?

Written Questions

Write repeated addition for 3 × 2.
Solve 2 × 5.
Draw 4 groups of 2 circles.
Write the multiplication sentence.

Common Mistakes

Students may:

Count unequal groups.
Forget to count every object.
Confuse addition and multiplication.
Reverse the number of groups and the number in each group.

Teacher's Strategy:

Use real objects before introducing symbols.
Encourage students to say: "Number of groups × Number in each group = Total."
Reinforce the idea that multiplication is repeated addition.

Homework

Draw 3 groups of 4 stars and write the repeated addition.
Draw 2 groups of 5 flowers and write the multiplication sentence.
Solve:
- 2 × 4 = ___
- 3 × 3 = ___
- 4 × 2 = ___
- 2 × 5 = ___
Find three examples of equal groups at home (e.g., egg trays, chairs, spoons) and draw them.

Revision Notes

Multiplication (गुणा)

Multiplication means repeated addition.
It is used when equal groups are made.
The multiplication sign is ×.
Count the number in each equal group to find the total.

Examples

2 + 2 + 2 = 3 × 2 = 6
5 + 5 = 2 × 5 = 10
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 4 × 3 = 12
