Arrays as products (1,2,3,5,10)

Lesson

Arrays are a rectangular display of objects, and we can use them as a visualisation for products.  Remember that the word product, is the mathematical term for when we multiply things together.

So if we say the product of 2 and 4, what we mean is the answer to 2 x 4. 

Let's see some more about Arrays as Products.

 

Worked Examples

    A

    B

    C

    D

Question 2

Fill in the boxes with the missing numbers.

  1. The array shows $\editable{}$ rows of $\editable{}$ squares, or $\editable{}$ columns of $\editable{}$ squares.

    There are $\editable{}$ squares in total.

  2. The array shows $\editable{}$ rows of $\editable{}$ squares, or $\editable{}$ columns of $\editable{}$ squares.

    There are $\editable{}$ squares in total.

  3. Hence, evaluate the following.

    $9\times3=\editable{}$9×3=

    $3\times9=\editable{}$3×9=
