How do I make a model with dots on graph paper that shows that 3 x 14 = 42?
Thanks!
I'd make 3 columns of dots, each containing 14 dots.
To make a model with dots on graph paper that shows that 3 x 14 = 42, we can follow these steps:
1. Get a sheet of graph paper with evenly spaced dots or create a grid with dots yourself.
2. Each dot will represent one unit. Start by marking a row of 3 dots horizontally.
3. Next, make 14 vertical columns adjacent to the row of 3 dots.
4. Count the total number of dots. You should have a grid of 42 dots in the shape of a rectangle.
5. Label the rows as 3 and the columns as 14 to represent the multiplication problem visually.
By creating this model on graph paper, you can visually see how 3 rows of 14 dots equal 42 dots, illustrating the equation 3 x 14 = 42.
