Can you match the repeated addition equations with the multiplication equation.

Colour them the same colour.

1	2 + 2 + 2 =	4 x 10 =40	3 + 3 + 3 =	3 x 2 =6
2	2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 =	2 x 2 =4	5 + 5 + 5 + 5 =	6 x 5 =30
3	2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 =	4 x 2=8	10 + 10 + 10  =	2 x 5 =10
4	5 + 5 =	3 x 10=30	2 + 2 + 2 + 2 =	5 x 5 =25
5	5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 =	4 x 5 =20	2 + 2 =	6 x 2 =12
6	5 + 5+ 5+ 5+ 5 + 5 =	3 x 3 =9	10 + 10 + 10 + 10 =	5x2=10
