• Count the rows, then count how many are in each row: 3 rows of 11 makes 3 × 11 = 33.
• As repeated addition that is 11 added 3 times: 11 + 11 + 11 = 33.
• Turning the array on its side does not change the total, which is the commutative property: 3 × 11 = 11 × 3 = 33.
• The same picture shows the two division facts as well: 33 ÷ 3 = 11 and 33 ÷ 11 = 3.
