Multiplication as Repeated Addition

The document discusses multiplication as repeated addition and arrays. It provides examples of arranging groups of counters into rows and columns and writing the corresponding multiplication and addition sentences. The examples show that the order of the factors does not matter and multiplication can be modeled as either repeated groups or repeated additions. Word problems at the end further illustrate using multiplication to solve problems involving distributing a given number of items to a given number of people.
