Sure! Let’s solve the
Multiplication Arrays worksheet step by step.

🔍 What is an Array?
An
array is a rectangular arrangement of objects in
rows and
columns. To write the multiplication fact, you multiply:
>
Number of rows × Number of columns = Total objects
The example shows:
- 2 rows of 5 dots → `2 × 5 = 10`
We’ll apply this to each problem.

✔ Tip for students: Always count the number of
horizontal rows first, then the
vertical columns, and multiply them. The order doesn’t matter (commutative property), but it’s easiest to stick with rows × columns.
