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).

4 2 ?

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

4 +

4 =
