Students explore the challenges that are faced when transporting materials into space. They review the various forms of energy, including solar arrays, that are used on the International Space Station and how generating this energy calls for collaboration between researches on earth and in space.
A great resource gets kids to start thinking about multiplication in a developmental way while building strong number sense and operational skills. Each slide contains scattered counters, which are then put into neat rows (making arrays), learners then write all the ways they can make that number, including multiplication and repeated addition. They complete three problems as a class and 5 on their own.
You will love this resource! Using a problem involving a farmer planting pumpkins, third graders create arrays to show the various maps the farmer needs to make to determine the number of pumpkins he'll be planting. The kids get to explore the concept of arrays in a real-life context. Using worksheets, 100s charts, and good problem solving skills, the class will really start to understand how an array represents multiplication.
Young mathematicians study the relationship between skip counting and multiplication. They build on skip counting skills and examine arrays while studying multiplication. Resources are provided.
This lesson is based on video clip 220 from the Count on it! series, however the same problem can be posed with out the video. Learners work independently to determine the amount of dried food they will need for a camping trip. Each child needs to create arrays and use repeated addition to determine an amount appropriate to the number of people in their families.
In this division array worksheet, students write division problems that given arrays could help solve, then draw arrays to solve given problems.
The class is shown 8 different arrays and must compose 4 math equations to represent each one. They need to show 2 multiplication and 2 repeated addition equations for each array. An answer key is provided. This worksheet could be a useful tool for your visual learners.
Elementary schoolers explore prime and composite numbers. They use tiles to create arrays and work with a partner to find as many array combinations as possible from their assigned numbers. Pupils create a t-chart of prime and composite numbers and construct a 100's chart to tell if a number is prime or composite.
Students recognize patterns in arrays and repeat these patterns back to the teacher. They determine and tell the teacher the total number of squares in the array based on the pattern they recognize.
Young mathematicians solve six story problems that relate the operations of multiplication and division. They also solve word problems pertaining to the row and columns in arrays.
