About this worksheet
An array is a set of objects arranged in equal rows and equal columns, like the cups in a muffin tin or the windows in a building. Arrays are the second grade bridge to multiplication, because adding the same number again and again, 4 + 4 + 4, is the same as counting 3 rows of 4. Each picture on this page shows an array, and your child writes how many objects there are in all.
Encourage adding the rows instead of counting one by one: if there are 3 rows with 4 in each row, say 4, 8, 12. Ask your child to point to the rows and say how many are in each before adding. Arrays up to 5 rows and 5 columns are used, as the second grade standard asks.
What your child will learn
- Describe an array by its rows and columns
- Add equal rows to find the total
- Connect repeated addition to arrays
Common Core standard: 2.OA.C.4
Worked example
An array with 3 rows of 4 apples: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12. There are 12 apples in all.
Common mistake
Counting the rows only, or counting some objects twice, instead of adding the same number for each row.
Helpful hint
Count how many are in one row, then add that number for every row.
