Math Magic Time!

Let’s Learn Together:

First comes 1, then comes fun! 🎉 Multiplying by 1 means keeping things simple. Imagine you have 5 apples🍎 and someone says, “Multiply your apples by 1.” Guess what? You still have 5 apples! Why? Because multiplying by 1 doesn’t change anything—it’s like magic!

Let’s sing it together:
"One times one is one, oh what fun! 🎶
One times two is two, that’s true too!
No matter how big or small,
Multiply by one, it stays tall!"

Example Time:

Let’s try this problem: What is 7 × 1?
Think about it… If you have 7 candies🍬 and multiply them by 1, do you get more candies? Nope! Do you lose any candies? Nope again! You still have 7 candies because multiplying by 1 keeps numbers happy and unchanged.

So, 7 × 1 = 7. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! 😊

Tips for Superhero Parents:

- Use real-life objects like toys, snacks, or crayons to show that multiplying by 1 doesn’t change the count.
- Make it playful! Sing songs or create little rhymes to reinforce the concept.
- Celebrate every tiny success—kids love encouragement!
- Repeat often but keep it short and sweet; their attention spans are as quick as lightning bolts ⚡.
