• Count the rows, then count how many are in each row: 7 rows of 9 makes 7 × 9 = 63.
• As repeated addition that is 9 added 7 times: 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + … = 63.
• Turning the array on its side does not change the total, which is the commutative property: 7 × 9 = 9 × 7 = 63.
• The same picture shows the two division facts as well: 63 ÷ 7 = 9 and 63 ÷ 9 = 7.
