Multiplication as Repeated Addition — Year 2

Make the meaning of multiplication visible before students begin memorising facts. Multiplication as Repeated Addition — Year 2 develops the concept through equal groups, arrays, repeated addition, multiplication sentences, bar models, number lines and skip counting.

The editable teaching presentation provides a clear 26-slide sequence with worked examples, guided questions and formative check-ins. The separate 22-slide editable quiz includes 10 questions followed by 10 answer and feedback slides.

The 22-page printable unit plan and resource pack balances colourful whole-class and game materials with black-and-white student practice. Students identify equal groups, build and read arrays, translate between representations, solve picture-based problems and explain what each factor and product represents. Five worksheets have matching answer pages, and the two-page Picnic Multiplication Challenge assessment includes two answer pages and a marking rubric.
