Strengthen the understanding of multiplication by asking students to read a word problem, draw the matching equal groups, and then write the corresponding multiplication sentence. This activity uses the language of 'for each' to explicitly define the factors in the problem and helps students visualise the total.
What's included
Version 1: 3 worksheets with picture supports already drawn for each problem, providing scaffolding
Version 2: 3 worksheets where students draw both the groups and the items for each problem, promoting greater independence
1 open-ended template for flexible use
