Multiplying by 12

Today you will…

Learn a strategy for multiplying numbers when you don't know the answer right away.

A dozen means that there are 12 things.

​- I can count each row to find the number of eggs in a carton.

Dozen!!!

• dozen = 12

• 6 + 6 = 12

​

​How many eggs will fill each row?

Here is another way to count the eggs.

• I can count them by 2s.

  • 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.

​Replace with sub-header

I can also split the carton so that 10 is in one group.

• So I have 10 plus 2.

• 10 + 2 = 12

How many eggs will fill two cartons?

​

​Let's try stacking 2 egg cartons!

To find how many eggs would fill two cartons, we can add the group of 12 in one carton and the group of 12 in the other carton.

12 + 12 = 24

12 x 12 = 24

Ways to show 24 eggs

Here's another way to show that 24 eggs will fill two egg cartons.

• 10 is an easy number to multiply , so I will split each egg carton into 2 groups, with 10 on one side and 2 on the other.

Ways to show 24 eggs(continued)*

There are 2 groups of 10 eggs on the left side of the carton.

• What is 2 times 10? _______

There are 2 groups of 2 eggs on the right side of the carton.

• What is 2 times 2? _______
