⚠️ Knowing that 3×4=12 is not enough!! Multiplication is so much more than just facts. 💡 We want our 3rd graders to start with a conceptual understanding of multiplication as groups. 3×4 means 3 groups of 4 and 4×3 means 4 groups of 3. ✨ Dear Reader, we all know they both result in 12. But the visualization is a key part in helping our kids understand what multiplication means! ✨ It will also help them in the future when they learn division, the distributive property, and even solving equations
