The GREAT Relationship Status between Addition and Multiplication!
1st Grade student demonstrates how the addition number sentence 3 + 3 = 6 is related to the multiplication number sentence of 2 x 3 = 6. Student drew apple trees to demonstrate the great relationship between his addition and multiplication number sentences. Student understands that 3 apples from the first apple tree and 3 more apples from the second apple tree is a total of 6 apples altogether. In multiplication, the factor 2 represents the 2 apples trees and 3 represents 3 apples on each tree is a total of 6 apples altogether. Another thing to point out is that the student was able to recognize a mathematical pattern within his work.
