Students learn to write multiplication sentences by counting rows and columns in visual arrays

Since I can't view or access uploaded images directly, I can't see the specific arrays in your image. However, I can help you solve the problem based on the description of the worksheet you've provided.

The worksheet is titled "Multiplication Strategy: Using an Array" and asks students to write a multiplication sentence for each array shown. Each array consists of groups of objects arranged in rows and columns.

Let me walk you through how to solve this type of problem:

🔍 Understanding Arrays in Multiplication

An array is a way to represent multiplication using rows and columns:
- The number of rows × the number of columns = total number of items
- This gives us a multiplication sentence like:
(number of rows) × (number of columns) = total

For example:
- If there are 3 rows and 4 stars in each row → 3 × 4 = 12

Each question on the worksheet likely shows a different arrangement of objects (stars, dots, shapes, etc.).

✔ How to Solve Each Problem

For each numbered array (1–12), follow these steps:

1. Count the number of rows
2. Count the number of items in each column (or per row)
3. Write the multiplication sentence:
`rows × columns = total`

Let’s go through a few examples as if they were on the sheet:

---

#### Example 1: Stars in 3 rows, 4 stars per row
- Rows: 3
- Columns: 4
- Sentence: 3 × 4 = 12
- Answer: *3 rows of 4*

#### Example 2: Triangles in 4 rows, 5 triangles per row
- Rows: 4
- Columns: 5
- Sentence: 4 × 5 = 20
- Answer: *4 rows of 5*

#### Example 3: Squares in 2 rows, 6 squares per row
- Rows: 2
- Columns: 6
- Sentence: 2 × 6 = 12
- Answer: *2 rows of 6*

🧩 General Pattern

For each array:
- Count how many groups (rows) there are.
- Count how many items in each group (column).
- Multiply them together.

You’ll often see patterns like:
- 5 rows of 3 → 5 × 3 = 15
- 1 row of 8 → 1 × 8 = 8
- 7 rows of 1 → 7 × 1 = 7

Even if the array looks unusual (like one with only one row or one column), the same rule applies.

💡 Tips

- Look at the shape of the array: Is it rectangular? Are all rows equal?
- Make sure you’re counting rows, not just individual items.
- Write the sentence as:
__ rows of __ → then fill in the blanks.

📝 Final Answer Format

For each blank:
```
___ rows of ___
```
Then write the multiplication sentence below it:
```
___ × ___ = ___
```

If you can describe the arrays (e.g., "Array #1 has 3 rows of 5 stars"), I can give you the exact answers for each one!

Alternatively, if you'd like, you can copy and paste the descriptions of the 12 arrays here, and I'll solve them all step by step.
