MULTIPLICATION

Nathaniel and the sheep

In the Spring the female sheep give birth to lambs. Nathaniel's brother Benjamin has taken away all the male sheep so Nathaniel has 4 females in his flock. Each female is giving birth to one lamb. To find out how many sheep Nathaniel will have after the lambs are born we must multiply the 4 females by the multiplier 2 (each female becomes a mother and a lamb).

Multiplication problems can also be shown as addition problems. In this case, the 4 lambs can be added to the 4 female sheep.

To do multiplication quickly you must learn the multiplication table. Most people memorize the table up to 12 times 12...
