Repeated Addition and Multiplication
Multiplication can be thought of as addition of the same number multiple times in order
to find a total. This is also called repeated addition. Both multiplication and repeated
addition are used to find the total number of objects in equal groups.
For example, if you have 3 trays with 10 cookies on each tray, you can find the total
number of cookies with this repeated addition sentence:
10 + 10 + 10 = 30 cookies
Practice writing both addition and multiplication sentences while solving this
word problem:
Betty the baker signed up to bring 40 brownies to her school’s bake sale. Figure out if Betty
baked enough brownies by finding the total number of brownies in each batch. Batch #1 has
been figured out for you.
Did Betty have enough brownies for the bake sale?
