What kids do

“Count the rows and the dots in each row. Write the multiplication sentence.”

Teacher tip

Cut a sheet of graph paper so kids can build each array themselves. Turning the array shows that 3 × 4 and 4 × 3 match.

How to use it

  • Start with two minutes of skip counting out loud for the tables on the sheet.
  • Let kids draw quick arrays for any fact they don’t know yet.
  • Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.

Watch for

Lost place value in the second partial product. Remind kids to write the zero first.

Talk about it

  • Where do you see equal groups outside of school?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Play multiplication war with a deck of cards: flip two, multiply, highest product wins.
