Multiplication as Repeated Addition, Equal Groups, and an Array
I created this practice sheet as an alternative to the timed multiplication drill sheets I had used as a student myself. I was seeking a way for students practice their facts in a way that helped them understand the building blocks of multiplication. I wanted my students to internalize what multiplication meant long before they began to memorize the multiplication facts.
So I created this sheet to help them visualize that multiplication comes in many different forms.
