Arrays and Multiplication Fun
Grade 2/3 Mathematics Learning multiplication through arrays Let's explore equal groups together!
What Are Arrays?
Objects arranged in equal rows Same number in each row Like a rectangle made of things We can count them in a special way!
Let's Build Our First Array!
Use your counters Make 2 rows Put 3 counters in each row Count how many total!
Arrays Help Us Count Faster
Instead of counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... We can count by groups! 2 groups of 3 = 6 This is called multiplication!

Array Challenge Time!
Create an array with 3 rows Put 4 objects in each row Draw your array on paper Write: 3 × 4 = ?
Arrays Are Everywhere!
Egg cartons have arrays Ice cube trays are arrays Classroom desks make arrays You can find arrays at home too!
