How to explain it to your child
Every choice of one thing pairs with every choice of the other: multiply.
- Write the first option with each option of the second. — T-shirt A with trousers 1 and 2
- Do the same for every first option — or multiply. — 3 T-shirts × 2 trousers = 6
Example: 3 T-shirts and 2 pairs of trousers make 6 different outfits.
Every sheet has a QR code: if your child gets stuck, they scan it and get this explanation step by step — without giving the answer away.
