Six pictures of circles with dots inside: every circle in a picture holds the same number of dots. Children count the groups, then the dots in one group, and write the sentence “3 groups of 4 = 12” and the multiplication 3 × 4 = 12. The dots are laid out like dice, so children start to see 4 or 6 at a glance instead of counting one by one. It is the first step from counting to multiplying.
