Match The Operations

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a mathematical exercise focusing on illustrating the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. It features a table with three columns labeled “Multiplication,” “Repeated Addition,” and “Answer.” The first two rows are completed as examples, showing how a multiplication problem (e.g., “2 x 7”) can be converted into a repeated addition problem (e.g., “7 + 7”) and then solved. The students are expected to fill in the missing parts of the table for each of the multiplication problems provided.

The worksheet is intended to teach students how to represent multiplication problems as repeated addition, reinforcing their understanding of the concept of multiplication. By completing the conversions from multiplication to addition, students practice and internalize the fact that multiplication is a shortcut for adding the same number multiple times. This exercise helps students transition from the concept of addition to multiplication, which is crucial for their mathematical development. It also provides a practical way to verify the results of multiplication by using a more familiar operation-addition.
