Multiplication can be represented by an array.
Multiplication can be easier by considering factors.
Division can be seen as dividing into groups and then counting the number in each group.
Division can be seen as knowing the size of a group and calculating the number of groups.

Stress the importance of 2 different coloured counters as there is a need to represent positive and negative integers differently.
