Yep. Both together. All together. Mult is repeated addition, etc. It all
blends. Then it makes sense.
Science that uses math concepts we haven't gotten to yet -- great time to

Cooking -- great time to mult and divide and measure.
Planting rows of tomatoes -- both of the kids had 3 plants of 3 different
types each -- how big does this garden need to be?? Boy, that's pretty big.
etc. etc.
