What you'll learn
- Explain that a multiplication expression such as 5 x 7 means "5 groups of 7 objects" and state the total number of objects
- Create or identify equal groups of objects that match a given multiplication expression
- Describe a real-world situation that can be represented by a given multiplication expression (e.g., describe a context for 5 x 7)
- Translate between repeated addition expressions and multiplication expressions (e.g., 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 5 x 7)
- Represent a multiplication expression using an array and connect the rows or columns to the "groups of" interpretation
