This worksheet is designed to help students practice identifying multiplication arrays by counting rows and columns of objects and writing the corresponding multiplication sentence. The goal is to understand how arrays represent multiplication.
Let’s go through each problem step by step, explaining how the answers were determined based on the visual arrays:
---
1. Hats (5 rows × 4 columns)
- There are
5 rows and
4 hats in each row.
- Multiplication: $ 5 \times 4 = 20 $
✔ Answer:
5 × 4 = 20
---
2. Flowers (5 rows × 5 columns)
- A square array with
5 rows and
5 flowers per row.
- Multiplication: $ 5 \times 5 = 25 $
✔ Answer:
5 × 5 = 25
---
3. Rainbows (2 rows × 6 columns)
-
2 rows, each with
6 rainbows.
- Multiplication: $ 2 \times 6 = 12 $
✔ Answer:
2 × 6 = 12
---
4. Horseshoes (5 rows × 6 columns)
-
5 rows, each with
6 horseshoes.
- Multiplication: $ 5 \times 6 = 30 $
✔ Answer:
5 × 6 = 30
---
5. Pots (3 rows × 4 columns)
-
3 rows, each with
4 pots.
- Multiplication: $ 3 \times 4 = 12 $
✔ Answer:
3 × 4 = 12
---
6. Hats (3 rows × 2 columns)
-
3 rows, each with
2 hats.
- Multiplication: $ 3 \times 2 = 6 $
✔ Answer:
3 × 2 = 6
---
7. Witch Hats (4 rows × 5 columns)
-
4 rows, each with
5 witch hats.
- Multiplication: $ 4 \times 5 = 20 $
✔ Answer:
4 × 5 = 20
---
8. Rainbows (6 rows × 3 columns)
-
6 rows, each with
3 rainbows.
- Multiplication: $ 6 \times 3 = 18 $
✔ Answer:
6 × 3 = 18
---
9. Horseshoes (2 rows × 5 columns)
-
2 rows, each with
5 horseshoes.
- Multiplication: $ 2 \times 5 = 10 $
✔ Answer:
2 × 5 = 10
---
10. Rainbows (6 rows × 4 columns)
-
6 rows, each with
4 rainbows.
- Multiplication: $ 6 \times 4 = 24 $
✔ Answer:
6 × 4 = 24
---
11. Squares (3 rows × 3 columns)
- A small square array:
3 rows,
3 squares per row.
- Multiplication: $ 3 \times 3 = 9 $
✔ Answer:
3 × 3 = 9
---
12. Flowers (7 rows × 4 columns)
-
7 rows, each with
4 flowers.
- Multiplication: $ 7 \times 4 = 28 $
✔ Answer:
7 × 4 = 28
---
✔ Summary:
All answers provided in red are correct and match the visual arrays.
#### 🔍 Key Concept:
An
array is a way to organize objects into equal rows and columns.
To write a multiplication sentence:
- Count the number of
rows → first factor
- Count the number of
objects in each row → second factor
- Multiply them to get the total
For example:
If there are 5 rows of 4 hats → $ 5 \times 4 = 20 $

This worksheet reinforces understanding of multiplication as repeated addition using visual models — a foundational skill for early math learners.
