Math Magic Time!

Let’s Learn Together!

First comes 1 × 9 = 9, then comes 2 × 9 = 18... and we keep going up! Multiplication is like skipping steps on a staircase—you jump ahead faster and faster.

To multiply by 9, just think: “How many groups of 9 do I need?” For example:

• 1 group of 9 makes 9,
• 2 groups of 9 make 18,
• 3 groups of 9 make 27...

See how it grows? Each time you add another group of 9, the answer gets bigger!

Try This Fun Example!

Let’s solve 4 × 9:

1. Imagine 4 plates with 9 candies each.
2. Count all the candies: 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36.

So, 4 × 9 = 36. Great job counting those candies!

Tips for Superhero Parents 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

Teaching multiplication can be fun! Here are some tricks:

• Use objects like toys or snacks to show groups of 9.
• Sing songs or clap rhythms while reciting the 9s table.
• Draw pictures together—a picture of 9 apples in 3 baskets helps kids see multiplication in action!
