Mr Amiss's parade

Mr Amiss wants to throw a parade along Brixton High Street. He needs 30 children. He wants to know how many different ways the group of children can march in the parade. The group of children must march in equal rows and there must be more than one child in each row.

How many possible combinations are there for our march?

Using what we have learnt about arrays, show all the different ways the group of children can march in the parade, writing each way in a multiplication sentence.

    1. Have another think about this Najia. If i had 5 groups of 30, it would be 30 x 5, when I only have 30 children to march in my parade.
