This is interesting. I taught Math and In feel this way:
I always tried too keep Math fun and described it as something that is all around you in a visual sense.
A Math Teacher might and especially with young students 'keep it simple'.
Before the student is taught Multiplication that student is taught Addition and Subtraction.
5 X 3 = 15 .... may alternatively be expressed as the Number on the Number Line defined as FIVE multiplied by the Number THREE on that same Number Line and....is the same as and related to Addition:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
15 = 5 X 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
