Multiplication is repeated Addition
Many times a person wants to add up a large number of equivalent values. This can be done by simple addition on an adding machine. However, many have notice if they had 7 values of 5, it was always 35. This then gave us multiplication.
This worksheet uses simple situations to demonstrate this principle. Also, the {b}Order of Operations[\b] is demonstrated, showing the need of multiplication operations prior to addition or subtraction.
