Maths Task

SCHOOL GARDEN
This task is about showing how to solve multiplication problems.
Some students are setting up a school garden.
Do not use a calculator to answer the maths problems below.
a)   Hohepa planted 9 rows with 8 tomato plants in each row.
Show how to work out how many tomato plants he planted altogether.
9 x 8 = 72
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 2 = 18
18 + 18 = 36
18 + 18 = 36
36 + 36 = 72
Answer: 72

THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!

WALT use our times tables for working out a different multiplication problem.
