This activity is about multiplying by six.
Example
There are 9 egg boxes here.
Each box has 6 eggs.
We want to work out how many eggs there are in total.
What is 9 times 6?
Answer
In total, there are 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 54 eggs
What is 6 times 9?
6 × 9 = 54
9 × 6 = 54
Can you see how much quicker it is to use multiplication, rather than addition?
