📖
The bakery trays
Ayu helps at the bakery in the kampung. There are 4 plates, and each plate has 3 cakes. Mo asks how many cakes there are in all. Ayu could count every cake one by one. Mo says a short x sign can tell the total fast. How can Ayu write and find the total of equal groups? By the end I can write and solve a times sentence for equal groups.

A peek inside
4 plates have 3 cakes each. Draw, add, write the times sentence and name the product.
Draw 4 circles with 3 dots in each.<br>Add the groups: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12.<br>Write the times sentence: 4 x 3.<br>The product is 12, so 4 x 3 = 12 cakes.
Try this at home: 4 plates have 3 cakes each. Draw, add, write the times sentence and name the product.
