Example Question #112 : Common Core Math: Grade 3

\displaystyle \frac{\begin{array}[b]{r}10\\ \times 7\end{array}}{ \ \ \ \space}

 

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 77

\displaystyle 60

\displaystyle 40

\displaystyle 70

\displaystyle 50

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 70

Explanation:

Multiplication can be thought of as repeated addition, or as objects in a group. 

\displaystyle 10\times7 means adding \displaystyle 7 ten times. 

\displaystyle 7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7=70 and \displaystyle 10\times7=70

Or we can think of this as grouping objects. We have \displaystyle 10 groups, with \displaystyle 7 objects in each group. We can count up the total number of objects, in this case triangles.
