Arrays of chairs |
2009-01-08 |

From Vickie: I am not sure how to help my son figure out one of his math journal problems.
He is in third grade and this just seems a bit much for him.
They have only been working on multiplication for about 3 weeks
and just went back to school from Christmas break.
Their other homework has been about arrays,
so I guess his teacher wants this answered in some sort of array.
Unfortunately I'm not sure.
The problem states: If you have 24 chairs find the total number
of ways the chairs can be arranged. Answered by Robert Dawson and Penny Nom. |
