Understanding Arrays and Equal Groups

The video tutorial introduces math strategies using arrays and pictures to demonstrate equal groups in multiplication. It explains the concept of equal groups, where each group has the same number of items, and how this relates to multiplication. The tutorial uses examples with cupcakes to illustrate how to visualize multiplication through arrays, arranging items in rows and columns. This method helps in understanding the multiplication process and solving problems effectively.
