A FACT STRATEGY

The 1 times table.

One group changes the view, not the total.

ONE WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT

One group changes the view, not the total.

1 × 8 = 8. Show one plate with eight counters: there are still eight altogether.

Try this together

Compare 1 × 8 with 8 × 1 using eight single counters.

Say the complete fact, draw or build its groups, then try it again without the picture. It is fine to return to a known fact when an answer feels uncertain.
