Imagining dots

After watching the video, how could you use the same ways of thinking to solve 6 x 18? We can also call this 7 eighteens.

How many ways can you think of to solve 6 x 18?

Michael and Penny both say the arrays differently. How was your way of seeing the dots similar or different to theirs?

Create your own array. Are there different ways that the rows and columns could be subitised to find out how many?

Try using the area model to represent the different ways you could break apart your array.
