We worked in pairs today in math to create two different arrays with the same number of tiles.
We are learning through manipulation what an array is and we are continually practicing the terms "row" and "column".
One partner used the tiles to make an array and then the other partner rearranged (we liked this word because it goes with our spelling pattern of prefixes this week) the tiles to make a different array!
When we finished with the arrays, we wrote repeated addition sentences for both arrays.
We understand that an array with 4 rows of 5 is the same number of tiles as an array with 4 columns of 5.
This hands-on manipulation of tiles really helps us build a foundation for multiplication, division, fractions and even reading graphs!!
