Repeated Addition to Sums

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a mathematics practice sheet that lists a series of multiplication problems for students to convert into repeated addition sentences. It begins with an example that shows how to express “2 x 6” as “2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2” which equals 12. The students are then presented with 15 multiplication problems of varying difficulty, ranging from single-digit to more challenging two-digit multiplications. For each problem, there is a blank line where the student is expected to write the equivalent repeated addition sentence.

The worksheet is teaching students to understand and apply the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. It reinforces the idea that multiplication is an efficient way to add identical numbers several times. Through this exercise, students practice transforming multiplication into repeated addition, which can help solidify their understanding of the multiplication process. The worksheet serves as a bridge between simple addition and the more abstract operation of multiplication, laying the groundwork for more advanced arithmetic skills.
