Multiplication and Addition Facts

Basic Addition Facts

• The following are simple multiplication facts that can also be understood as addition:
  • 1 x 2 = 2
  • Explanation: Adding 1 + 1 gives us 2.
  • 2 x 2 = 4
  • Explanation: Adding 2 + 2 gives us 4.
  • 3 x 2 = 6
  • Explanation: Adding 3 + 3 gives us 6.
  • 4 x 2 = 8
  • Explanation: Adding 4 + 4 gives us 8.
  • 5 x 2 = 10
  • Explanation: Adding 5 + 5 gives us 10.

Observations

• Each of these equations follows the pattern of doubling the number (i.e., multiplying by 2).
• These operations can be used to reinforce understanding of both addition and multiplication concepts, as they demonstrate the relationship between the two operations.
