Grade 3 - Multiplication - Repeated Addition

In this video, we'll explore the foundational concept behind multiplication: the idea that multiplication is essentially repeated addition. By understanding that multiplication is a shortcut for adding the same number over and over, students can grasp how multiplication works at a conceptual level.

We'll demonstrate this with examples, showing how to use repeated addition to solve multiplication problems and how to visualize it with groups. While this method may be less efficient for larger numbers, it provides a solid foundation for understanding multiplication before moving on to more advanced strategies.
