Multiplication

6 × 6 = 36

Division

36 ÷ 6 = 6

• Count the rows, then count how many are in each row: 6 rows of 6 makes 6 × 6 = 36.
• As repeated addition that is 6 added 6 times: 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 36.
• The rows and columns match, so turning this array on its side leaves it unchanged: 6 × 6 = 36 either way.
• That also makes 36 a square number — 6² = 36 — and its square root is 6, because 36 ÷ 6 = 6.
