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 observe 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. Note
Thus, 4 sisters with 2 roses each make 8. It can We can read 4 × 2 = 8 in the
following ways:
also be said 4 times 2 is 8 and expressed 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.
