This explanation helps 9-year-olds understand the concept of multiplication, specifically 9 x 9.
To find out what 9 x 9 equals, we can think of multiplication as adding the same number many times. So, when we say 9 x 9, it means we need to add the number 9 together a total of 9 times.
Let’s break it down:
After adding 9 together 9 times, we find that 9 x 9 = 81. So, the answer is 81.
Another way to think about it is by using a multiplication table or looking at groups of 9. If you're in a classroom and have 9 boxes, and you have 9 students, you can see that they would fill the boxes using 81 items!
