Multiplication as Repeated Addition

CIEE 213 Weblog: Multiplication as Repeated Addition: ""

I would use this video for a 3rd grade math class. I would teach them how to multiply using repeated addition and this video would help clarify the concept for them. I don’t think memorizing the multiplication table is helpful for any student unless they know how the concept works. By letting them see how it works using repeated addition they can understand it and master it before we move on to division. I like the video because it is short and to the point. I also think the students would find it interesting because it takes to you to a place named Gabon in West Africa to learn about the topic.
