What this lesson shows
Every rectangle of 24 dots: 1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, 4 × 6.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 24. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Try 1 row, 2 rows, 3 rows
- Skips over? Not a factor
- Stop when a pair repeats
Helping at home
Try rows from 1 up: does that many rows use every dot? Skip counting tells you fast. Stop when a pair repeats turned around, then list every factor.
If your kid gets stuck
Try 1 row, then 2 rows, then 3.
