Modeling Multiplication with Arrays

This video tutorial explains how to use arrays to model multiplication and find factors. It covers the concept of arrays as objects arranged in rows and columns, and demonstrates how to calculate products using arrays. The tutorial includes examples such as counting tomato plants and Tim's walking routine, illustrating the commutative property of multiplication. It also shows how to write multiplication sentences and solve real-world problems using arrays. The lesson concludes with a preview of the next topic, the commutative property of multiplication.
