Making Arrays - Worksheet

The "Making Arrays" worksheets are a series of practical maths teaching resources designed to help students understand and practice the concept of arrays. Arrays are a fundamental component in understanding multiplication and repeated addition. Each worksheet provides students with different tasks related to arrays. The first worksheet asks students to describe arrays by identifying the number of rows, columns, and the total count of counters. In the second worksheet, students are tasked with drawing or building arrays using counters based on given instructions, such as "4 rows of 3" or "2 rows of 5", and then calculating the total number of counters.

Subsequent worksheets encourage students to apply their knowledge to real-life objects like fruits, where they must calculate the total number of items based on the number per row or column. For example, they may be asked to add the number of pears in each row across several rows to find the total. Other worksheets focus on building arrays to represent repeated addition sentences and determining if number sentences correctly describe a given array. Additionally, students are challenged to identify which array is the odd one out based on the provided addition sentences and the arrangement of counters. The worksheets cater to different levels of difficulty, ensuring that students can progress and build their understanding of arrays step by step.
