Learning about Arrays in Maths

We have been learning about skip count and sharing.
We have 24 counters and children.
How can we share them equally?
 Tui said "Give 1 to each person, until they are all gone."  
So we did!

How many did each child get?
We made an array to show our groups.
so...  
6 groups of 4 makes 24
6 x 4 = 24
and...
 if we turn the photo around
4 groups of 6 makes 24
4 x 6 = 24
WOW!!!!
