problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to describe the structure of an array by identifying the number of columns, the number of objects in each column, and the total number of objects. They learn that the columns of an array go up and down. Students begin to reason about how they can use the structure of the array to find the total number of objects without counting by 1.
This activity uses
MLR8 Discussion Supports. Advances: speaking, conversing
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols. S
upport understanding of the rows and columns by inviting students to act it out. For example, use students to create the first array (3 rows of 2). Discuss the students who create the rows. Now switch to talking about columns (2 columns of 3). Discuss the difference in which students create the columns.

Display student work for an array with 10 counters.
“Describe _____’s array.” (It has 10 counters, it has 2 columns and 5 counters in each column. It has 5 rows with 2 counters in each row.)
“How can we prove there are 10 counters in this array?” (We can skip count by 2. We can add
\(2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2\)
. We can add
\(5 + 5\)
