Understanding Multiplication: Concepts and Applications in Early Education

This educational resource, developed by Dr. Beth McCulloch Vinson at Athens State University, explores the concept of multiplication as an efficient method of repeated addition. It demonstrates various multiplication scenarios, such as 3 x 2 and 4 x 3, to illustrate how these operations represent equal groups. The material highlights the importance of using multiplication in teaching mathematics, allowing students to find totals quickly without counting individual sets. This project supports the preparation of future educators to effectively incorporate technology in their teaching strategies.

  1. Multiplication Dr. Beth McCulloch Vinson Athens State University PT3 Grant Funding, Summer 2000

  2. 6 2 + 2 + 2 = Multiplication is the process of adding equal sets together. We added 2 three times.

  3. Instead of repeatedly adding, we can multiply. 3 x 2 6

  4. This means “3 groups of 2 equals 6 in all”. 3 x 2 6

  5. This means “2 groups of 3 equals 6 in all”. 2 x 3 6

  6. This means “3 groups of 4 equals 12 in all”. 3 x 4 12

  7. This means “4 groups of 3 equals 12 in all”. 4 x 3 12

  8. This means “2 groups of 6 equals 12 in all”. 2 x 6 12

  9. We can also use multiplication to find the total number in this set without having to count them.

  10. 6 3 3 x 6 = 18

  11. Or we can turn it the other way and show it like this.

  12. 3 6 6 x 3 = 18
