The method

Equal groups — “when the same number is added again and again, multiply”

  1. Count the groups and how many are in each group.
  2. Number of groups × number in each group.
  3. Skip count to check: 5, 10, 15, 20.
  4. 4 × 5 and 5 × 4 give the same answer.

Use it for: Wheels on cycles, legs on hens, sweets on plates, and the multiplication chapter of Class 2 maths.

Worked example: There are 4 plates. Each plate has 5 laddoos. How many laddoos are there in all? → 20

  1. 4 equal groups of 5: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5.
  2. 4 × 5 = 20.

Check: Skip count in 5s four times: 5, 10, 15, 20 ✓
