Extend and Connect
Some children like to relax the iconic requirement and make times tables out of their favorite object, grouped many times. For example, a kid will group two evening primrose flowers with four petals each for two-by-four, then three flowers for three-by-four, and so on.
Can you find iconic addition? This is harder than finding multiplication! For example, car stickers show people in the family, such as two adults plus one child equals three family members.
Explore coins and bills of different countries. For example, in the US, twenty nickels or ten dimes or four quarters make a dollar: twenty-by-five equals ten-by-ten equals four-by-twenty-five equals one hundred.
