Talking Points

• Multiplication is like adding groups of numbers together: "When we multiply, we are adding the same number multiple times. For example, 3 x 4 means adding 3 four times."
• Multiplication helps us solve problems faster: "By using multiplication, we can quickly find the total when we have groups of the same number."
• Practice makes perfect: "The more we practice multiplication, the better we get at solving problems quickly and accurately."
