Repeated Addition - On a Number Line

Multiplying on a number line

Five jumps, each is two steps. 5 × 2 = 10.

Example problems

1.  Write the multiplication sentence that the jumps on number line illustrate.

2.  Continue and draw jumps to fit the multiplication problem.

6 × 4 =

5 × 5 =

3 × 10 =

Find 4 × 3 by skip-counting Take four 'skips'.  Add three each time.  Notice where you land when 'skipping':   You landed at 3, 6, 9, 12.   4 × 3 = 12.

 
3.  Add repeatedly (or skip-count) to multiply.  You can use the number line to help.

3 × 2 = 6 × 3 = 4 × 5 =

3 × 10 = 2 × 11 = 3 × 7 =

4.  Fill in the multiplication table of 2!

1 × 2 = 2 × 2 = 3 × 2 = 4 × 2 = 5 × 2 = 6 × 2 = 7 × 2 = 8 × 2 = 9 × 2 = 10 × 2 = 11 × 2 = 12 × 2 =
