standard_description: Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table), and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends.
problem_activity: Rishi is trying to find the total number of clouds in the following array.
[IMG]
Rishi says "I know 3 × 9 = 27, so I can use that to help me solve."
a.   Mark the array above to show how Rishi is thinking about it.
b.   Use the fact that
$$3\times9=27$$
to find the total number of clouds in the array.


aligns: yes
