Welcome to our Math Adventure! Today, we're going to dive into the fantastic world of multiplication word problems. But before we jump in, let’s kick things off with a fun and interactive activity!
Imagine that you're in a magical land where numbers come to life! Each number has its own special power, and they love to hang out with their friends. Today, we are going to meet some of these numbers and help them solve their problems using multiplication!
In this land, there are golden apple trees, and each tree produces a different number of golden apples. To find out how many apples we can collect in total, we need to solve some word problems. Let’s use our multiplication skills to help the numbers multiply their apples!
The Candy Factory
If each candy box contains 12 candies, how many candies are there in 5 boxes?
The Book Fair
At the book fair, each student buys 4 books. If there are 6 students, how many books do they buy together?
The Toy Collection
Jamie has 3 shelves. If each shelf holds 8 toy cars, how many toy cars does Jamie have in total?
The Math Club
If the Math Club has 7 members and each member needs 9 pencils for their project, how many pencils do they need altogether?
The School Picnic
At the school picnic, there are 5 baskets, and each basket contains 10 sandwiches. How many sandwiches are there in total?
The Garden Party
In a garden, there are 6 flower beds, and each flower bed has 4 roses. How many roses are there in the garden?
The Volleyball Tournament
If there are 4 teams in the tournament and each team has 6 players, how many players are there in total?
The Art Class

If each table at the holiday party has 3 plates, and there are 9 tables, how many plates are there in all?
Now, think about how you could use multiplication to help the characters in our magical land solve their problems. Get ready, set, and let's multiply our way to learning! Grab your pencils, and let's start solving these fantastical word problems together!
Happy multiplying!
