This activity is about multiplying by 10.
Example
There are 4 bundles of balloons here.
Each bundle has 10 balloons.
We want to work out how many balloons there are in total.
What are 4 lots of 10?
Answer
In total, there are 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40 balloons.
What is 4 x 10?
4 x 10 = 40
10 x 4 = 40
Let's try another example.
Below, there are 6 pairs of hands.
There are 10 fingers on each pair of hands.
We want to know how many fingers there are in total.
What are 6 lots of 10?
In total, there are 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 60 pairs of hands.
What is 6 times 10?
6 x 10 = 60
10 x 6 = 60
