Understanding Multiplication
Multiplication is one of the four basic operations in arithmetic. It involves taking one number and adding it together a number of times defined by another number. Here's a simple example to clarify:
If you have 3 groups of 4 apples, then you have a total of 12 apples. This is expressed as 3 × 4 = 12. 🍏🍏🍏🍏
