Ten repeated additions such as 6 + 6 + 6 + 6. Children count how many times the number is added (four times) and which number it is (6), write it as a multiplication, 4 × 6, and then find the total, 24. It shows why multiplication is useful: 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 is a lot of adding, but 5 × 9 is one fact. Children can still add the numbers to check their answer.
