Multiplication

 I did a Multiplication task.

First we had to learn what multiplication is to do this. Multiplication is a fast way for adding the same numbers many times. 

Then my group was given an unknown amount of counters. Then we had to put them into small groups of 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's of 5's.

Then I had to use multiplication to find out the unknown amount of counters. Once I used multiplication to find out the unknown amount, I put the counters into a rectangle.

I learnt that Multiplication is a fast way of adding the same numbers many times.
