Multiplication is a way to count equal groups of things.
Let’s use toys!
- Put 2 blocks in one little group.
- Make another group with 2 blocks.
- Count all the blocks together: 1, 2, 3, 4!
There are 4 blocks altogether. We had 2 groups of 2.
You can try with toy animals, snacks, or your fingers. Make little groups and count everything together!
