Pyramids – cubes and cylinders have a go too if you want!

Grab some dice.( If you don’t have dice, write numbers 1-10 on a piece of paper.) Roll the dice to get 2 numbers. Or throw a wee rolled up piece of paper on your number grid to select 2 numbers. You then have the 2 multiples you need.  I want you to make an array out of your multiples. We have done this lots and lots of times in class. It doesn’t matter what you use,  pasta, small toys, buttons, counters or you could cut up bits of paper into shapes. Build your array and write 4 fact family sentences to explain your groups.

eg, 4×3=12      3×4=12         12 divided by 4=3      12 divided by 3 = 4

Here’s a video reminder about arrays.
