- The group size is also called a factor in a multiplication.
- The number of objects overall is called the product of the multiplication.
Keywords
Product - A product is the result of two or more numbers multiplied together.
Multiplication equation - An equation is used to show that one number or calculation is equal to another. Multiplication equations use × and = symbols.
Factor - A factor is a number which exactly divides another whole number.
Common misconception
Children may confuse the terminology of factor and product and therefore be inaccurate when describing equations.
Take time to clearly model use of terminology and ask questions such as: 'What does the 3 represent?' 'What does the 5 represent?' 'What does the 15 represent?' Continue to explicitly use key terms such as factor and products within explanation.
