Arrays Explained by Room 14 Kids!

"What is an array you ask?" An array is arrangement of objects into a set of rows and columns. We do this to quickly work out how many are in a set. This is multiplication. For example, the chess board has 8 rows and 8 columns. We can add: 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 64 or 8 x 8 = 64, as well!

4 x 3 = 12

7 x 3 = 21

2 x 2 = 4

1 x 7 = 7

5 x 4 = 20

5 x 7 = 35

2 x 3 = 6

6 x 3 = 18

6 x 2 = 12
