Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Confusing multiplication with addition by writing answers like 3 x 4 = 7 instead of 12, because they add the digits rather than think in equal groups.
• Mixing up the meaning of factors, so a child reads '3 x 4' as '3 groups added once' instead of '3 groups of 4' or '4 + 4 + 4'.
• Miscounting arrays by counting each row separately and forgetting to multiply rows by columns, especially when the array has more than three rows.
