Third grade students in Mrs. Pasan's room at Truman School aren't just memorizing facts—they're building a deep understanding of multiplication by creating Arrays Puzzles!
This activity requires them to connect different representations:
Visual Arrays (rows\times columns)
Repetitive Sums (equal groups/skip counting) and
Formal Equations
By successfully linking these pieces, they show they know exactly how multiplication can be represented.
