Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a mathematics resource designed to demonstrate the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. It features a table with three columns that include arrays of squares, repeated addition problems, and multiplication problems. The arrays represent the total number of items to be multiplied, while the corresponding repeated addition problem and a partially completed multiplication problem are placed next to each array. Students are expected to complete the multiplication problems by identifying the number of items in each array and using the repeated addition problems as a guide.

The worksheet aims to teach students that multiplication is a quick method to add the same number multiple times. By showing the same quantity as an array, as repeated addition, and as a multiplication problem, it helps students understand the relationship between these concepts. This visual and numerical representation enables students to grasp the concept of multiplication more concretely. It also helps them to practice and reinforce their multiplication skills by translating visual patterns into mathematical equations.
