In this topic, students learn multiplication through the concept of equal groups. They understand that 'g groups of k each' means multiplying g × k. For example, 3 groups of 4 each equals 3 × 4 = 12. This foundational concept helps students visualize multiplication as repeated addition of equal groups.
