Exploring Equal Groups and Arrays

In this video tutorial, second-grade students learn how to use equal groups to build arrays. The teacher explains the concept of equal groups and demonstrates how to arrange them into rows to form arrays. Two examples are provided: one with three groups of four and another with five groups of two. The video emphasizes the importance of skip counting as a strategy to find totals in arrays and encourages students to practice these skills using educational platforms like I-Ready or ST Math.
