Challenge students to use their knowledge of array structure to find the total in partially covered arrays. Students must look at the visible rows and columns to determine the array's dimensions, then use multiplication to find the total number of squares in the array. This reinforces the understanding that arrays are made of equal groups.
What's included:
Version 1: 2 worksheets where students record the total number of squares for each array
Version 2: 2 worksheets with spaces to record the multiplication equation before finding the total
