Writing Multiplication Equations Step by Step

Get your own copy of The Summer Before 5th Grade Math Workbook: https://a.co/d/0hc42Usc Writing multiplication equations becomes much easier when you understand what the numbers represent in a word problem. In this 4th grade math lesson, we’ll practice reading multiplication word problems and writing multiplication equations step by step. This lesson is aligned with the 4th grade Common Core standard: “Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison.” — CCSS.Math.Content.4.OA.A.1 (thecorestandards.org) We’ll also connect to this standard: “Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations…” -CCSS.Math.Content.4.OA.A.3 (thecorestandards.org) In this video, students will learn how to: Read and understand multiplication word problems Identify important math information in a problem Write multiplication equations correctly Connect multiplication to repeated groups and comparisons We’ll work through two examples together step by step, and then you’ll get a chance to try one on your own before we wrap up the lesson. Pause the video during the practice problem and see if you can write the equation before checking the answer! Building strong equation-writing skills now helps students succeed later in algebra and problem solving. ⏱ Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction: Understanding Multiplication Equations 0:32 – Example #1: Writing a Multiplication Equation from a Word Problem 1:20 – Breaking Down the Important Information 1:52 – Example #2: Another Multiplication Word Problem 2:40 – How to Identify the Equation Step by Step 3:06 – Your Turn!
