What’s 2 × 3?
You can draw equal groups to help figure it out.
2 × 3 is a shortcut for writing:
2 + 2 + 2 = 6
Tip: Do skip-counting in your head to figure it out:
2, 4, 6

Learn with an example
Multiply.
3 × 10 =
This array shows that 3 × 10 = 30. It has 3 rows with 10 dots in each row.
There are 30 dots in all.
3 × 10 = 30
This number line also shows that 3 × 10 = 30. Count by 10s on the number line. Count forward 3 times.
The last arrow ends at 30.
3 × 10 = 30
Multiply.
0 x 3 =
The zero property of multiplication says that the product of any number and 0 is 0. This means that 0 times any number is 0.
So, the product of 0 and 3 is 0.
0 x 3 = 0
Multiply.
0 × 3 =
The zero property of multiplication says that the product of any number and 0 is 0. This means that 0 times any number is 0.
So, the product of 0 and 3 is 0.
0 × 3 = 0
