Mrs. Castro baked cookies for her children.

she arranged the

cookies on the tray. She put 4 cookies on each tray.
If there were 6 trays, how many cookies were there in all?

Let us count the cookies.

4 + 4 +4 + 4 + 4 + 4
= 24
• How many cookies were there in each tray?
4 cookies
• How many trays did Mrs. Castro use?
6 trays
• So, how many times did you count 4?
6 times

6 x 4 = 24 cookies

4 + 4+ 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24
