These activity sheets teach your beginning students how to create multiplication problems through simple pictures.

How to Show Multiplication through Pictures Images and pictures play an important role when it comes to teaching kids. They help make the problem look easier and provides a helping hand for students to get a grip on the problem. Most of the time, it is difficult for kids to do the transition from simple addition and subtraction to complex concepts such as multiplication and division. When learning multiplication, kids can be easily drifted and start working over the wrong concepts. This can create a problem as well as discourage and intimidate students, ultimately damaging learning outcomes. This is where images help the students. Let's find out how images can help you learn to multiply. Colorful images are way better than abstract numbers. You don't need to spend a lot of energy and effort into understanding the numbers. Children willingly take part in solving the problems. Images make counting and calculations of the numbers easy. Kids can easily use images as groups and multiply numbers. The images help in the memorization of tables.

Many times we will come across a visual learner that struggles with basic math operations and concept. In fact in study from the early 1980s researchers found sixty-five percent of the learners in of a single school population to be visual learners. When students see factors displayed as images it often makes the problem more approachable. It also helps them understand the overall mathematical expression. These worksheets explain how to create multiplication equations by examining simple pictures. Students will draw connecting lines, use repeated addition, and more. Colored pencils will help.
