What is 4 X 9?

• Starting from your pinky on your left hand, count to 4. When you reach your 4th finger, tunck it under
  
  
• how many fingers are still sticking out, to the left of your tucked in finger (3)
  
  
• How many fingers are sticking out to the right of your tucked in fingers (on both hands, and don't forget to include the thumb)? (6)
  
  
• When you put 3 and 6 side-by-side, you get 36.
  
  Yes. 4 X 9 is 36!
