Represent Multiplication: Match Up

Overview:

A worksheet where students match different representations of multiplication by drawing lines between equations, repeated addition, arrays, and answers. Designed for students in year 3 and year 4.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and match different representations of multiplication.
• Strengthen understanding of multiplication through visual connections.
• Reinforce fluency in recognising multiplication in various forms.

How the Activity Works:

Students are presented with a set of multiplication problems and their various representations: the equation, repeated addition, array, and the answer. They draw lines to match the correct representations. For example, for 3x4, students would match the equation 3x4 with the array of 3 rows of 4, the repeated addition (4+4+4), and the answer 12. This activity reinforces the understanding that multiplication can be represented in different ways.
