Learning about Multiplication through Arrays and Linking Cubes

by Isabella

     "For this activity, we used blocks and arranged them different ways.  We pretended we were arranging chairs and they had to be lined up in rows.  We were able to see that if you counted how many on one side times how many on the other side, we got the total number of blocks.  We did this so we could learn more about math and to multiply.  When we started, I had no idea what an array meant and now it is easy.  I chose this because it was fun and helped us with our math."
