MultiplicationA revision

I had to hang out my washing today. There was my shirt, my husband’s shirt, my son’s shirt and my daughter’s shirt.

My shirt has one, two buttons. My husband’s shirt has one, two buttons. My son’s yellow shirt has one, two buttons and my daughter’s shirt also has one, two buttons.

How many buttons are there all together? How could we work it out?

If we put all our buttons on the cloud up here, we can easily count our buttons. Let’s count them by two’s.

Two, four, six, eight.

So my four shirts with two buttons equals eight buttons all together!

Partition

So now I have two, four, six, eight buttons on my cloud and I need to share them out with my four shirts. How many buttons will each shirt get?

1 for the red shirt1 for the blue shirt 1 for the yellow shirt and 1 for the purple shirt.

Another one for the red shirt, another for the blue shirt, another for the yellow shirt and another for the purple shirt. Have we shared our buttons out fairly?

How many buttons did we start with? 8. How many buttons do each of our shirts have? 2. So we shared eight buttons with four shirts and each shirt got 2 buttons. And we have no buttons left over.

Quotition

Oh dear! I have eight buttons and I need to put them back on their shirts. I need to give two buttons to each shirt. How many shirts can I put two buttons on? Let’s see!

Two buttons on the red shirt...

Two buttons on the yellow shirt…

Two buttons on the purple shirt…

And two buttons on the blue shirt. We have no more buttons left on our cloud and every shirt has two buttons. Let’s count how many shirts we have. One, two, three, four! So if I have eight buttons and put two on each shirt, I can have four shirts.
