Multiplication as Repeated Addition Practice Set
A practice set of equal-group word problems for 3rd graders that helps them connect repeated addition to multiplication. Students read each scenario and mark with an X whether a given equation fits, building fluency with equal groups and multiplication facts.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a guided practice station after a short mini-lesson on equal groups, or as independent practice in a 20-25 minute math block.
- Discussion question: How do you know when a problem is about equal groups, and how can repeated addition show the same total as multiplication?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students draw the groups (for example, 5 bags with 6 apples each) before checking the equations, and read each problem aloud together first.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write their own equal-group word problem and two equations that match it, then swap with a partner to check.
- Plan roughly 20-25 minutes, including a quick review of the worked example at the top of the packet.
