• Count the rows, then count how many are in each row: 4 rows of 6 makes 4 × 6 = 24.
• As repeated addition that is 6 added 4 times: 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24.
• Turning the array on its side does not change the total, which is the commutative property: 4 × 6 = 6 × 4 = 24.
• The same picture shows the two division facts as well: 24 ÷ 4 = 6 and 24 ÷ 6 = 4.
