Master arrays with this engaging lesson! Students will learn to organize objects into rows and columns, use arrays to solve multiplication and division problems, and develop mental math skills through visualization.
By the end of this unit, children will be able to:
Understand the concept of arrays as a way to organize objects or numbers into rows and columns.
Create and represent arrays for given numbers using objects and drawings.
Apply arrays to solve multiplication and division problems.
Recognize the relationship between the number of rows and columns in an array and the multiplication or division operation.
Develop mental math skills by visualizing arrays to solve problems.
National Curriculum Objectives
Year 2 Number: Multiplication and division
Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers.
Calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division within the multiplication tables and write them using the multiplication (×), division (÷) and equals (=) signs.
Show that multiplication of 2 numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and division of 1 number by another cannot.
Solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods, and multiplication and division facts, including problems in contexts.
