Draw an array to represent: 3 x 5
Label your rows and columns
What is the product?
3 rows x 5 columns = 15 total
No, you can put them in any order and still get the same product.

Define the word: Product
The answer to a multiplication equation
Draw an array to represent: 6 x 1
Label your rows and columns
What is the product?

Multiply these three factors: 3, 7, and 2
What is the product?
42
Explain the rule to use if you are multiplying with a factor that ends in a 0 or more than one 0
You take away the zero/zeros and add them back to the product in the end
A shelf has 6 rows. Each row holds 7 books. How many books fit on the shelf?
42 books fit on the shelf
Define rows and columns
Rows represent the equal groups and go side to side
Columns represent the items in the equal groups and go up and down
If I want to split up the rows in this expression, which factor would I split up?
5 x 9
5
Show how to break apart one of the factors in this expression then find the product:
9 x 8
Sample answer:
(9 x 5) + (9 x 3) =
45 + 27 = 72
What is the product of 50 x 6?
300
A toy store puts 9 toy cars in each pack. If they make 8 packs, how many toy cars do they have?

Define the word: Factor
a number that you multiply
Draw an array for 2 x 7
Split up the columns
What is your new expression using parenthesis?
What is the product?

10 + 4 =
14
Multiply these three factors: 6,8, and 9
Find the product
432
What is the product of 10 x 100?

A school buys 5 boxes of crayons. Each box has 12 packs of crayons. Each pack has 4 crayons inside.
How many crayons did the school buy in total?
12 packs × 4 crayons = 48 crayons per box
48 × 5 boxes = 240 crayons
Explain what all of these symbols and numbers are called: 2 x 9 x 3 = 54
2 is a factor
x means multiply
9 is a factor
x means multiply
3 is a factor
= means equal
54 is the product
What is the equation for this array? What is the product?
4 x 8 = 32
Show two different ways to group two of the factors in this expression and solve BOTH using parenthesis:
2 x 4 x 7
(2 x 4) x 7
(7 x 2) x 4
What is the product of 80 x 500?
40,000
A snack table has 3 trays.
Each tray has 5 bowls, and each bowl has 12 pretzels.
If the teacher wants twice as many pretzels for the party, how many pretzels does she need in all?
5 × 12 = 60 pretzels per tray
60 × 3 = 180 pretzels
Twice as many = 180 × 2 = 360 pretzels
