We have begun to find out about counting in sets by using arrays to make multiplication visual. Making maths visual is an important way to help our brain learn and remember new mathematical information.
One group worked on different ways to solve problems like 8 x 6 (eight sets of six). There were lots of different ways!
Then we moved onto different problems involving planting in rows and we used the array to help us work it out. Here are some examples:
Next, we will think about which strategies work best for different problems and use arrays from everyday life to make multiplication visual. Maths is everywhere!
