Wednesday: Rows and columns of squares

Lucy the Ladybug sits on a quilt made of little squares.

"Look, the squares are all the same size," she says softly.

Ferris the Fox counts the rows going across.

"There are 3 rows, and each row has 4 squares," he says.

Lucy smiles. "Then we can add the rows to count them all."

Learn it: rows and columns

Rows go across. Columns go up and down.

Each dot below stands for one small square of the quilt.

There are 3 rows of 4 squares.

4 plus 4 plus 4 is 12. The quilt has 12 squares.
