30.+Skip+Counting+to+Multiply

media type="custom" key="11285312"

I am working away at some strategies that you can use to help you learn to multiply. One of them is called skip counting.

Suppose you have the problem, 4 x 3 = ?. Well, that is the same as four "groups of" three.



I can find How Many by skip counting by 3's. I have 4 rows or 4 groups of 3 so I count: 3, 6, 9, 12. That means that there are 12 cookies in all!

Can you come up with more examples? I am still working away....
