By understanding multiplication facts as sets, scholars can conceptualize this math process easier. The facts they need for these problems are listed at the top, and all involve three as a factor. Review these facts with learners before they begin. For each visual problem, they examine sets of three checks. In three different forms, scholars record the total checks for that many sets, finally completing a multiplication number sentence. There are four sets here.
