Fourth graders use square tiles to help them explain the concept of square numbers.

Fifth and sixth graders explore prime numbers. They work with a partner to build rectangular arrays using twelve tiles. Factor pairs are noted and recorded on graph paper. Pupils construct rectangular arrays with a prime number and...

Learners 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.

The creation of arrays is the focus of this mathematics lesson. Pupils consider a situation for a theater stage performance: different amounts of people are coming to the show, and they must arrange the seats in rows of equal numbers. A...

Explore the concept of multiplication by using arrays. Classmates use arrays to gain a better understanding of multiplication. They break arrays apart to model the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The relationship...

Review multiplication facts and concepts! This clear, and easy to follow instructional activity will help your class to understand multiplication by using arrays and repeated addition. There are strategies to help with memorization and...

Students determine factors of numbers to 100 and identify prime factors; students differentiate prime and composite numbers by the factors of the numbers.

Examine the importance of sequence and series through contextual situations. Here, learners partake in a five-day unit that begins with the basics of arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. As it progresses, pupils apply the...

Learners divide a poster board so everyone gets the same amount of area to decorate. Youngsters talk about the different ways to divide a rectangle. They measure their lines to make sure that each piece is equal and then decorate their...

Students draw arrays. In this multiplication lesson, students draw arrays, write multiplication sentences for arrays and discuss how changing the order of the factors affects the product.

Fifth graders discover the connections between algebra and geometry. With a focus on arrays and factors, they are introduced to multiplication. They develop an array for multiples of 2 through 10 and identify the factors of each row....

Learners make multiplication squares. In this math lesson, students review their multiplication facts and multiplication strategies. Learners are introduced to multiplication squares when multiplying a number by itself.

Third graders begin learning about multiplication using arrays. In this multiplication with arrays lesson plan, 3rd graders interact with tiles on the overhead as they follow the teacher in making arrays. They write multiplication...

Discuss different techniques for finding the area of a geometric shape, with a great visual guide. Using a real life example, learners calculate the area of a rectangle and a square. 

Learning that size and orientation don't affect the classification of shapes is a big step for young mathematicians. Support children with developing this key understanding by looking at the array of shapes included in this resource. For...

Learners and teacher talk about arrays of numbers like the ones in A Square of Circles. They check to see that the rows all have the same sum; that the columns all have the same sum; and that the diagonals have the same sum.

Sixth graders use geoboards and dot paper to experiment with geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders complete four activities using geoboards or dot paper including naming points on a coordinate plan and finding the area...

Sixth graders inspect prime and composite numbers. Using graph paper, they draw as many different shaped rectangles as possible. They use the dimensions of the rectangles to discuss prime and composite numbers. Students create a chart...

Second graders use a number line to understand multiples.  In this number line lesson, 2nd graders use a floor size number line and calculate problems with multiples. Students complete a worksheet with multiples.

Fourth graders use properties of operations and problem-solving strategies to do mental calculations, and look for patterns in the solutions. They create an array, using each of the digits 1-9 exactly once to form addition problems...

Students memorize the multiplication math facts and learn many different ways of visualizing and practicing the multiplication concepts. They begin practicing with arrays, skip counting, and moving manipulatives for the 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
