Basic Multiplication for kids
You will learn about “Basic Multiplication” in this video. Adding the same number again and again means we are multiplying. The sign used for multiplication is x.
Let us try to multiply 2 and 3. Look at these groups of boxes. There are 3 groups of 2 boxes each. Let us first add all these boxes. Here, 2 + 2 = 4 and 4 + 2 = 6 boxes. Adding 2 three times means multiplying 2 by 3. Here, 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 thus, 2 x 3 = 6. Look at these bees. There are 5 groups of 3 bees each. How many bees are there in all? 3 + 3 is 6, 6 + 3 is 9, 9 + 3 is 12 and 12 + 3 is 15. So, adding 3 five times we get 15. Thus, 3 x 5 = 15. Hence, multiplication is also known as repeated addition.
