Learning objective
What this activity builds
Identify the group count and amount per group in a story and model their product with an array.
Worked example
A gardener plants 4 rows with 6 seedlings in each row. How many seedlings are planted?
24 seedlings
The story gives 4 equal rows of 6 seedlings, so the model is 4 × 6 = 24 seedlings.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Ask what one row contains before writing an equation.
- Require the unit in the final answer so the product is connected to the story.
