Catch of the Day: Multiply Using Repeated Addition

Cast your lines and see what you reel in as you complete this multiplication worksheet! First, students will write a repeated addition sentence that describes the model. Then, learners are asked to write an equivalent multiplication equation.

Repeated addition is a great way to introduce multiplication, as it builds on third graders’ prior knowledge. By using visuals, students can more easily recognize the equal groups and make the connection between addition and multiplication. This strategy can serve as the foundation for students to learn other methods of multiplication and build fact fluency.
