Understanding Multiplication

One way of understanding multiplication is to think in groups or collections of certain numbers. Here we are imagining planning a party for four people.
Each child gets two cookies.

Making sure each plate has the same number.
Making our own plates.
Trying the sharing ourselves.

Here we told stories about what we had represented on our plates. Deep learning is achieved when we can represent number facts physically or pictorially as well as being able to describe the representation in detail.
