2*2

Задача: 2*2

Ниже подробное решение и объяснение, адаптированные под английский язык, 5 класс, цель — понять.

Step-by-step solution (in English practice)

1. Understand what the expression means

• 2 × 2 is read as “two times two” or “two groups of two.”
• In ordinary language: there are two groups, each group has two items.

2. Convert multiplication to repeated addition

• Multiplication is a shortcut for adding equal groups.
• So 2 × 2 = 2 + 2.
• Add them: 2 + 2 = 4.

3. Visual representation (array)

• Imagine a 2 by 2 grid (two rows and two columns):
  • Row 1: [2] [2]
  • Row 2: [2] [2]
• Count all the items: 4 items in total.
• This shows why 2 × 2 equals 4.

4. Number line demonstration

• Start at 0 on the number line.
• Move by 2 steps twice: 0 → 2 → 4.
• You land on 4, which is the product.

5. Property check (brief)

• The order doesn’t matter for multiplication in this case: 2 × 2 is the same as 2 × 2.
• It’s also consistent with the idea that multiplying by 2 doubles a number, and doubling 2 gives 4.

6. Answer

• 2 × 2 = 4.

Quick practice suggestion (optional)

• Try 3 × 2 and 2 × 3 to see the same idea (both equal 6).
• Then try 4 × 2 as another quick check (equals 8).
