Instructions:1. Add the number of objects in each group and write down the sum.
2. Count the number of groups.
3. Multiply the number of groups with the number of objects in a group.
Note: The sum of objects in each group is the same as the number of groups times the number of objects in one group, when the number of objects is the same in all groups.
Example:
There are 2 groups of 3 crickets.
