Examples of Repeated Addition Sentences from Groups

📚 Quick Study Guide

• ➕ Repeated addition is a way to represent the sum of equal groups.
• 🔢 A repeated addition sentence is a mathematical expression showing the sum of equal groups (e.g., $3 + 3 + 3 = 9$).
• 👁️‍🗨️ We can relate repeated addition to multiplication. If we have 3 groups of 4, the repeated addition sentence is $4 + 4 + 4 = 12$, which is the same as $3 \times 4 = 12$.
• 💡 To write a repeated addition sentence from groups, identify the number of groups and the number of items in each group. Then, add the number of items in each group as many times as there are groups.
• ✍️ Example: If you have 4 groups of 2 apples each, the repeated addition sentence is $2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8$.
