Arrays & Models

Draw or describe an array for 3 x 4? How many total?

Draw a rectangle made of 3 rows with 4 dots in each row:

Row 1: ● ● ● ● Row 2: ● ● ● ● Row 3: ● ● ● ●

Count all the dots: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.

So, 3 × 4 = 12.

A rectangle has 5 rows of 6. Write the multiplication and solve.

5 x 6 = 30

Show an array that represents 7 x 3. What is the product?

Draw an array with 7 rows and 3 dots in each row:

Row 1: ● ● ● Row 2: ● ● ● Row 3: ● ● ● Row 4: ● ● ● Row 5: ● ● ● Row 6: ● ● ● Row 7: ● ● ●

Count by adding rows: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21.

So, 7 × 3 = 21.

Use a 3 x 8 array. Show two different ways to count the total (by rows and by columns). What did you get?

Draw or imagine an array with 3 rows and 8 dots in each row:

Row 1: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Row 2: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Row 3: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Count by rows: 8 + 8 + 8 = 24.
Or count by columns: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 24.

So, 3×8=24.3×8=24.

Show an array for 8 x 7. What is the product?

Draw an array with 8 rows and 7 dots in each row:

Row 1: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Row 2: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Row 3: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Row 4: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Row 5: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Row 6: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Row 7: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Row 8: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Count by rows: 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 56.
