Modeling Multiplication with Arrays

This video tutorial introduces the concept of arrays in grade three math, focusing on how arrays can be used to model multiplication and identify factors. It explains the arrangement of objects in rows and columns, and provides examples of different array configurations. The tutorial encourages using everyday objects like pennies or Legos to create arrays, reinforcing the understanding of multiplication through hands-on practice.
