Multiplication is a process we can do with numbers. When we do multiplication, we take one number and add it to itself a certain number of times--like, for example, adding the number 2 to itself five times and getting 10.
Each friend who is coming to Jayden's birthday party is getting two comic books from Jayden's mom. Jayden told his mom that six of his friends could come to his party, so she used multiplication to find out how many comic books she needed to buy altogether. She multiplied six by two and found out she needed twelve comic books. |
