Multiplication

5 × 5 = 25

Division

25 ÷ 5 = 5

• Count the rows, then count how many are in each row: 5 rows of 5 makes 5 × 5 = 25.
• As repeated addition that is 5 added 5 times: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25.
• The rows and columns match, so turning this array on its side leaves it unchanged: 5 × 5 = 25 either way.
• That also makes 25 a square number — 5² = 25 — and its square root is 5, because 25 ÷ 5 = 5.
