Arrays in real-time
T Naughton Arrays in real-time.
Find items in the classroom or playground that are real-life examples of arrays. Use the table below to identify the factors and product in the array and then create two multiplication sentences that represent your array.
- I can identify how many columns and rows are in an array (factors).
- I can write two multiplication number sentences to match my array.
- I can find the product of my multiplication number sentence by skip counting forward by the one of the factors in the array.

EXAMPLE:
Number sentences to represent array -
7 x 6 = 42
6 x 7 = 42
Factors -
Columns: 7
Rows: 6
Product -
Number of tokens = 42
I can skip count by 6 forward 7 places to find the product: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42.
