Annabelle arranged her 42 building blocks into 3 rows of 14 blocks. Then, she rearranged them into 6 rows of 7 blocks. What two other factor pairs could Annabelle use to help her rearrange the blocks again

If the main point of your work today is to learn all about all factors, they may want you to think of other numbers that multiply to 42, such as 1×42 and 2×21.

That would look like 1 row of 42 blocks and 2 rows of 21 blocks.

OR OR OR

If the main idea is learning that 3×14 is the same as 14×3 and 6×7 is the same as 7×6, then the answer might actually be 14 rows of 3 blocks and 7 rows of 6 blocks.
