Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

  1. Example 1

    There are 3 baskets. Each basket has 4 oranges. How many oranges are there in all?

    1. There are 3 baskets with 4 oranges in each basket. Every basket has the same number, so these are equal groups.
    2. Add 4 for each basket (skip count by 4: 4, 8, 12): 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.
    3. Adding equal groups is multiplying: 3 × 4 = 12.
    4. There are 12 oranges in all.

    Answer: 12

  2. Example 2

    12 × 5 = ?

    1. Break apart 12 into 10 + 2
    2. 5 × 10 = 50
    3. 5 × 2 = 10
    4. Add the parts: 50 + 10 = 60

    Answer: 60

  3. Example 3

    There are 2 jars. Each jar has 4 marbles. How many marbles are there in all?

    2. Add 4 for each jar (skip count by 4: 4, 8): 4 + 4 = 8.
    3. Adding equal groups is multiplying: 2 × 4 = 8.
    4. There are 8 marbles in all.
