 Counting eggs by 1s and by 3s to prepare for multiplication understanding! Ask your kids to count anything in groups of the same amount like rows of pancakes or crackers! 

 How many seeds are there?  

How can I count them? 

There are 3 rows of 5 seeds or 5 rows of 3 seeds. The multiplication is 3 x 5 = 15 or 5 x 3 = 15! 

If I have 12 pancakes and 4 people, how many does each person get?

 How much is 1 litre? 1000 millilitres. If you drank about half of the box, how much did you drink? How much is half of 960 millilitres? Before kids can divide an amount, they need to know about how much there is first. This video combines both measurement and division.
