A comprehensive exploration of 2nd grade math concepts designed to build strong foundational skills for young learners.
Multiplication is a shortcut for adding the same number again and again. In 2nd grade, you'll start to see how groups work.
Use objects, drawings, or arrays (rows and columns) to show multiplication.
Multiplication helps you figure out things like how many wheels are on 5 bikes, or how many cookies are in 3 boxes of 6.
\( 2 \times 5 = 10 \)
Finding out how many legs are on 4 chairs.
Counting how many eggs in 3 cartons of 12 eggs each.
Start to multiply by grouping and using repeated addition.
