Description

This clip art from the Language of Math collection illustrates the equation "8*3=24" in both numerical and word form. It continues the progression of multiplication concepts, focusing on multiplication with larger single-digit numbers.

The simultaneous presentation of the equation in symbols and words strengthens the connection between mathematical language and everyday language. This visual representation helps students understand how multiplication works with larger numbers and reinforces the concept of repeated addition and grouping.

As part of the larger collection, this image can be used to teach basic multiplication, number relationships, and early algebraic thinking. It provides a stepping stone for understanding more complex mathematical concepts like the distributive property and mental math strategies for multiplication. The use of such math clip art is invaluable in creating a multi-sensory learning environment, making abstract mathematical ideas more concrete and accessible to all learners.

Teacher's Script: "Let's explore this equation together. What happens when we multiply 8 by 3? Can you think of a real-world scenario where we might use this equation? For instance, if you have 8 boxes with 3 markers in each box, how many markers would you have in total?"
