How to teach it
Make four groups of six counters. Connect the groups to 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 and then to 4 × 6. Rearrange the counters into an array without changing the total.
Example to work through together
Use the model below as you explain the example. Have your student point to the quantities as you discuss them.
Each outlined group represents one bag. Count six crackers in each of the four bags.
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24
4 × 6 = 24
Ask your student
What does each factor tell us about the groups?
If your student needs help
If the student adds 4 and 6, have them point to all four groups. Ask them to count the six counters in each group.
Choosing and using the worksheet
Both factors in these worksheets are whole numbers from 2 to 9, so products range from 4 to 81. This set does not include the zero and one facts or a complete times-table chart. The answer key gives each product in the same order as the questions.
Make a practice set
Select the worksheet, answer key, or both. When both are selected, the answer key prints after the questions. Keep it separate if you want your student to work independently.
After your student finishes
Choose one product and ask the child to name its equal groups. Then use the same numbers in a division question: if 4 × 6 = 24, if 24 objects are shared equally among four groups, how many are in each group? Use the related division set to make that connection.
