Multiplication Notes
Repeated addition-adding the same number multiple times (5+5+5= 15 means 3 groups of5)
multiplication-putting together equal groups (3X5 = putting together or repeatedly adding by 5 three times to get 15)
array-rows of dots used to represent a number
-remember-rows are horizontal-rows represent the NUMBER of groups. Number of columns (or how many are in that row) represent how many in each group for a # x #set-up
Below is an array for 5 X 4 - 5 rows with 4 in each row
factors-the numbers you multiply together to get a product3x5= 15-->the factors are 3 and 5
product-the answer to a multiplication problem 3x5= 15 -->the product is15
double-multiply a number by two
the commutative property-a rule that says you can multiply numbers in any order and still get the same answer (3x5 yields the same answer as 5X3)
square number-you get this type of number when you multiply a number by itself; the arrays for this type of number are always in the shape of a square (4x4 = 16.16 is a square number. 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 etc. are known as the squares.
