Description
One of my favorite ways to practice multiplication with 3rd graders is by using arrays and repeated addition shown in real-life examples. Arrays help students grasp the concept of “groups of” and these equal groups form the basis of multiplying.
This editable, Google Slides™️ activity makes learning about multiplication arrays and repeated addition interesting and relevant by showing images of various objects from real-life.
