• 6 cookies, each having 4 chocolate chips, equal 24 chocolate chips

• 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24 (Repeated Addition)

• 6 x 4 = 24 (Algorithm)

Base Pictures

The picture also contains a denty floor (24) to help you remember the answer.

6 (Chicks) x 4 (Door) = 24 (Denty Floor)

Picture & Story

Thanks to the commutative property of multiplication, we can use the same story and picture we used for 4 x 6 = 24 for 6 x 4 = 24.

Other Tips on Remembering 6 x 4 = 24

Double-Double

• Double-double the number you are multiplying four by.  (Double it twice)
  • 4 x 6 (Double 6 Twice)
  • 6 doubled once is 12, 12 doubled is 24
• Another way to figure the answer is double the answer you would get if you multiplied the number by 2.
  • 6 x 2 = 12
  • 12 x 2 = 24

Practice

• Watch the video and listen to the story 3 or 4 times.
• Close your eyes and see the picture.
• Draw the picture you see for 6 x 4 = 24.  (From memory)
• Write the story for 6 x 4 = 24 in your own words.
