Multiplication sentences up to 10: true or false?
Key Notes :
1οΈβ£ What is a Multiplication Sentence?
A multiplication sentence shows how many groups of a number we have.
Example:
3 Γ 4 = 12β (3 groups of 4 = 12)
Emoji version: π’π’π’ + π’π’π’ + π’π’π’ + π’π’π’ = 12 π’
2οΈβ£ How to Check if a Multiplication Sentence is True β or False β
- Count the groups.
- Multiply the number in each group by the number of groups.
- Compare with the answer in the sentence.
- If it matches β True β
- If it doesnβt match β False β
Example:
5 Γ 2 = 12 β
- 5 groups of 2 = 10, not 12 β β False
2 Γ 6 = 12 β
- 2 groups of 6 = 12 β β True
3οΈβ£ Multiplication Facts Up to 10 β¨
Always remember your times tables 1β10!
Example facts:
3 Γ 3 = 94 Γ 2 = 87 Γ 1 = 7
These help quickly check if a sentence is true or false.
4οΈβ£ Quick Tips π‘
- Swap numbers:
3 Γ 4 = 4 Γ 3β (Commutative property) - Use repeated addition:
3 Γ 4 = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12β - Draw pictures: Groups of objects help check answers visually π’π’π’

Learn with an example
Is the number sentence true or false?
2 Γ 10 = 4 Γ 5
- true
- false
The number sentence is true because its two sides are equal.
On the left side, 2 Γ 10 = 20.
On the right side, 4 Γ 5 = 20.
2 Γ 10 equals 4 Γ 5.
Is the number sentence true or false?
2 Γ 10 = 5 Γ 4
- true
- false
The number sentence is true because its two sides are equal.
On the left side, 2Γ10 = 20.
On the right side, 5Γ4 = 20.
2Γ10 equals 5Γ4.
Is the number sentence true or false?
4Γ5=10Γ2
- true
- false
The number sentence is true because its two sides are equal.
On the left side, 4 Γ 5 = 20.
On the right side, 10 Γ 2 = 20.
4 Γ 5 equals 10 Γ 2.
