Introduction to Multiplication: The Magic of Groups!

Welcome, Mathematicians!

Hello, Year 2 mathematicians! Today we’re going to dive into an exciting new topic: Multiplication! Before we start, let’s have a little fun with a special story. Are you ready?


The Great Cookie Adventure

Imagine you’re at a magical bakery called "Cookie Land." When you walk in, the sweet smell of cookies fills the air. You see jars of cookies lined up everywhere, and each jar has a special number of cookies inside.

Let’s explore!

  1. The Cookie Jars:

    • Each jar contains 4 cookies.
    • There are 3 jars on the counter.
  2. The Big Question:

    • How many cookies are there in total if you want to count all the cookies from all the jars?

But here’s the twist...

Instead of counting each cookie one by one, you’re going to use your magic multiplication skills!


Let’s Work it Out Together!

What do you see?

Let’s use multiplication!

We can say: [ 3 \text{ jars} \times 4 \text{ cookies} = ? ]

So, how many cookies are there?
