Hello, young mathematicians! 🚀 Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey filled with numbers and adventures? Today, we are going to unlock the secrets of multiplication! But first, let’s set the scene…
Once upon a time in a land far, far away called Numerville, there lived a wise wizard named Mathius. Mathius had a special power: he could make numbers grow and multiply! But one day, he lost his magical multiplication wand, and all the numbers in Numerville turned into lonely, single digits.
To help Mathius restore magic to the land, we must solve some multiplication puzzles together. Are you ready to help? Let’s go!
Mathius has hidden enchanted treasure chests throughout Numerville, and each chest holds precious gems! To unlock a treasure chest, you must figure out how many gems are inside by multiplying.
Chest #1: “Inside me, there are 3 rows of 4 sparkling gems. How many gems do I have in total?”
Think Like a Wizard: Remember that multiplication is like adding groups of the same size. If you have 3 rows with 4 gems in each row, you can find the total gems by multiplying 3 by 4!
Solve the Puzzle: Take a moment and write down the multiplication equation.
Share Your Answer: Once you’ve solved the puzzle, share your answer with your partner. How many gems did you find?
Once everyone has solved the treasure chest puzzle, Mathius will reward you with magical multiplication stickers! You’ll be one step closer to helping him restore the magic in Numerville.
Let’s grab our math wands and start multiplying! ✨
