Compare numbers using multiplication

key notes :

Understanding Multiplication:

  • Multiplication is a method to find the total number of objects in equal groups.
  • Example: 4×34 \times 34×3 means 4 groups of 3, which equals 12.

Comparing Numbers:

  • To compare numbers using multiplication, you can use multiplication facts to determine which number is greater or smaller.

Using Multiplication Facts:

  • Know your multiplication tables (e.g., 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s).
  • Compare the results of multiplication to see which is larger or smaller.
  • Example: Compare 3 × 4 and 2 × 5.
    • 3 × 4 = 12
    • 2 × 5 = 10
    • 12 (3 × 4) is greater than 10 (2 × 5).
