Let’s solve each array one by one, using the example provided as a guide.
---
📌 Example (Solved):
-
Array: 4 rows of 2 dots → `2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8` (repeated addition)
-
Multiplication: `4 × 2 = 8`
This shows:
→ Number of groups × number in each group = total

## 🔷 Top Left Array (Purple Dots)
- There are
4 groups (columns), each with
2 dots.
- Repeated Addition: `2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8`
- Multiplication: `4 × 2 = 8`
✔ Answer:
```
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
4 × 2 = 8
```
---
## 🔷 Top Right Array (Red Dots)
- There are
3 groups (columns), each with
3 dots.
- Repeated Addition: `3 + 3 + 3 = 9`
- Multiplication: `3 × 3 = 9`
✔ Answer:
```
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
3 × 3 = 9
```
---
## 🔷 Middle Left Array (Green Dots)
- There are
4 groups (columns), each with
4 dots.
- Repeated Addition: `4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16`
- Multiplication: `4 × 4 = 16`
✔ Answer:
```
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
4 × 4 = 16
```
---
## 🔷 Middle Right Array (Purple Dots)
- There are
5 groups (columns), each with
2 dots.
- Repeated Addition: `2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10`
- Multiplication: `5 × 2 = 10`
✔ Answer:
```
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10
5 × 2 = 10
```
---
## 🔷 Bottom Left Array (Blue Dots)
- There are
5 groups (columns), each with
5 dots.
- Repeated Addition: `5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25`
- Multiplication: `5 × 5 = 25`
✔ Answer:
```
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25
5 × 5 = 25
```
---
## 🔷 Bottom Right Array (Pink Dots)
- This is arranged in
2 rows of
6 dots — or
6 columns of
2 dots.
- Either way:
- Repeated Addition: `6 + 6 = 12` OR `2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12`
- But since the blanks show only two addends (`_ + _ = _`), we use
2 groups of 6 → `6 + 6 = 12`
- Multiplication: `2 × 6 = 12`
✔ Answer:
```
6 + 6 = 12
2 × 6 = 12
```
*(Note: You could also write `2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12` and `6 × 2 = 12`, but since the blank has only two addends, `6 + 6` fits best.)*

##
✔ Final Answers for All Boxes:
Top Left:
```
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
4 × 2 = 8
```
Top Right:
```
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
3 × 3 = 9
```
Middle Left:
```
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
4 × 4 = 16
```
Middle Right:
```
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10
5 × 2 = 10
```
Bottom Left:
```
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25
5 × 5 = 25
```
Bottom Right:
```
6 + 6 = 12
2 × 6 = 12
```

✔ Summary: Each problem connects repeated addition (adding the same number multiple times) to multiplication (number of groups × size of each group). This helps build foundational understanding of multiplication as a shortcut for repeated addition.
