Exploring Model Multiplication with Arrays

The video tutorial covers modeling multiplication using arrays. It begins with an introduction and preparation, followed by an explanation of key vocabulary such as rows, columns, and arrays. The tutorial then demonstrates how to write multiplication sentences using arrays and provides practice in drawing arrays. Finally, it applies these concepts to solve word problems, emphasizing the use of arrays to find products.

• 25

• 35

• 11

What is the multiplication sentence for an array with 5 rows and 6 objects in each row?

• 6 x 5 = 30

In the word problem, how many carrot plants does Mr. Bloom have if he has 4 rows with 3 plants in each row?

• 15

• 12

• 10

• 7

What is the multiplication sentence for Mr. Bloom's carrot plants?
