My Hippopotamus Hones Multiplication Skills

Hippos (as they are more commonly known) are considered the second-largest land animal on Earth, second only to the elephant. They can weigh up to 7,000 lbs (3200 kg), which is as much as three small cars! To make sure they’re eating enough to keep up this massive reputation, they mastered multiplication.
 
Students use various tools and groupings to develop an understanding of multiplication and division
Students double known basic facts to find the product of more challenging basic facts
Students add or remove a group to or from a known basic fact to determine the product of another basic fact
Students use known basic facts and double one factor and halve the other to determine the product of a more challenging problem
