Multiplication as an Array
1. Multiplication can also be completed as an array. You may ask yourself, what is an array? An array is a model using rows and columns. Each row and each column must be of equal value to be able to be called an array. Look at this example:
X X X
X X X
X X X
X X X
In this array, there are 4 equal rows of 3 columns. If we write this as a multiplication equation, it would say 4 x 3 = 12.
2. Now, look at the picture below.
X X X
X X X
X X X
X X X
In this array, there are 4 equal rows of 3 columns. If we write this as a multiplication equation, it would say 4 x 3 = 12.
2. Now, look at the picture below.
3. On your piece of paper, create an array for the following multiplication equations:
