rePeAted AddItION

When we add the same number again and again, it is called repeated addition.

To find the total,
we use repeated
addition.

5 + 5 + 5 = 15

3 groups of 5 books each consist of 15 books in all.

Multiplication as Repeated Addition

Binny gives 2 roses each to his 4 sisters.

To find the total number of roses given, Binny uses repeated addition.

Here, we see that he has 4 sisters and he gives 2 roses to each sister.

Multiplication is a
faster way to do
repeated addition.

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 roses

So, there are 8 roses in all. Be Aware

Thus, 2 roses each to 4 sisters make 8. We can also We can read 4 × 2 = 8 in the
following ways:
say that 4 times 2 is 8 and express this as: l 4 times 2 is 8.

4 × 2 = 8 ‘×’ is the sign of multiplication. l 4 twos are 8.
4 into 2 equals 8.
l
Repeated addition is called multiplication. l 4 multiplied by 2 is equal to 8.

teacher’s Let the students understand how to find the total number of objects in real-life situations through
tip activities.
