You're already used to seeing equal groups and multiple equal groups, and you're used to adding So, here, one way toĮxpress what we just did, is we just, when we said five threes, that's the same thing as five, and I'm going to introduceĪ new symbol to you, five times three. All multiplication is is this notion of multipleĮqual groups of something. In fact, we actually are applying it, we just haven't used the world, and that's, we are multiplying. On one of the most fundamental ideas in all of mathematics. And so this would be a way of recognizing that you have 15 acorns, but we're starting to touch So this would be three, six, nine, 12, 15, because we add three, we get to six, we add another three, we get to nine, we add another three, we get to 12, we add another three, we get to 15. And if you wanted to calculate this, you could skip count by three. Now, five threes, you could view this as five threes added together. And so the total amount would be five, we could view this as five threes. So you could say five groups of three acorns, three acorns. ![]() How many total acorns he's collected, well, youĬould just count them up, or you could think about, well, he's got five And every day it's aĮqual number of acorns that he's collecting. To collect another group of three acorns. And then in day two, he'sĪble to collect a second group of three acorns. So you could view thisĪs maybe what he's able to collect in day one. It is every day he is able to collect a group of three acorns. This for five days? So one way to think about And so what I'm curiousĪbout is how many acorns will he have after doing ![]() And let's say everyday, heĬollects exactly three acorns. ![]() Squirrel friend here likes to collect acorns, because, really, that's how he is able to live.
