Car Park Maths

Here at St Matthew's all the teachers and parents have to park on the street.

Imagine that we wanted to create a single story car park for the staff and visitors.

Mr Dowd has decided that we would need to have at least 24 spots and the cars would need to be parked in neat rows.

Can you make a car park design? Use counters to show what these 24 cars could look like when they are all parked.

Draw your design in your book.

How can you prove that there are 24 car spots in your car park? - Can you write a multiplication fact for your car park? - Can you write a a division fact for your car park.

Challenge - answer these questions for a __different__ car park design that still has 24 spots. Super Challenge!!! How could the design change to accommodate 240 cars?
