How can you represent a multiplication problem using an array?

Back

An array is a visual representation of multiplication where objects are arranged in rows and columns. For example, a 2x3 array represents 2 rows of 3 objects, which equals 6 (2 x 3 = 6).

Front

What is the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. The formula is Area = Length x Width.

Front

How do you find the total area of a rectangular model?

Back

To find the total area of a rectangular model, multiply the number of units in one row (length) by the number of units in one column (width).

Front

What does the term 'group' mean in multiplication?

Back

In multiplication, a 'group' refers to a set of equal parts. For example, in 4 x 3, there are 4 groups of 3.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and addition?

Front

How do you determine the number of items in each group in a multiplication problem?

Back

To determine the number of items in each group, divide the total number of items by the number of groups. For example, if there are 12 items in 4 groups, each group has 12 ÷ 4 = 3 items.
