Understanding Multiplication by Repeated Addition
Multiplication by repeated addition is a simple way to understand what multiplication means. It's based on the idea that multiplying numbers is the same as adding a number to itself multiple times.
For example, when you multiply 3 by 4, you are essentially adding 3 to itself 4 times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12. This tool helps you visualize this process, making it easier to grasp the concept of multiplication, especially for beginners.
Key Terms:
- Multiplicand: The number that is being repeatedly added.
- Multiplier: The number of times the multiplicand is added.
- Product: The result of the multiplication (the sum of repeated addition).
