Arrays with multiplication has been made easy with this Google lesson. The first slides review the key vocabulary (rows and columns) of an array with progressive visuals. You can guide your students through problem solving and arrays with real world examples. Lastly, check your students understanding with several slides creating the multiplication equation for various arrays.

3 handouts reviewing arrays are available individually or as a bundle on my storefront! Use them as assessments, station work, or independent practice.

Lesson Idea:

Cut out boats out of construction paper and have manipulatives ready at students' desks. I have used buttons or gems in the past. With each beginning slide, the students will place the number of boats on their desk that represents the rows. The construction paper boats helps the students make the connection that rows are horizontal and boats only move side to side. Plus, the kids think its fun! :) Next, they will place the specified manipulatives inside each boat. As a class, we would label the the skip counting of the partial product at the end of each row. This simple idea helps students connect the vocabulary for rows and how they have an equal amount.
