We have been exploring arrays!
Row x Column = Product
The multiplication for the array above is
3 x 4 = 12
because it has 3 rows of 4.
When the factors are different digits,
the arrays are in the shape of a rectangle.
When the factors are the same digit,
the array are a square!
the arrays are in the shape of a rectangle.
When the factors are the same digit,
the array are a square!
We practice making arrays ourselves!
First, we worked with tiles and created arrays like these:
Afterward, we looked for
materials in our classroom that we could
use to create some more arrays!
Check these out!
