Multiply by 3 means adding the same number three times. Itâs like giving high-fives to three friendsâyou do it again and again!
First comes 1, then comes 2, and now weâre at 3! When you multiply, think of groups. If I have 3 cookies in one group, how many cookies will there be in two groups? Thatâs rightâ6 cookies!
Hereâs the trick: âThree times a numberâ is just that number added three times! For example:
Imagine you see 3 butterflies flying in a row. How many wings are there if each butterfly has 2 wings?
We know that each butterfly has 2 wings, so:
2 (wings) Ă 3 (butterflies) = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 wings!
1. Use objects around the house, like toys or snacks, to make multiplication hands-on and fun.
2. Sing songs or create rhymes about multiplying by 3. Repetition helps kids remember!
3. Celebrate small winsâevery step forward is progress. Praise their efforts, not just results.
