Page 4: Rows and Columns Together Skill Focus: Identifying both rows and columns. Student Directions: Write the number of rows and columns for each array. Activity: Students label both dimensions. Answer Key: Exact answers. Teacher Note: Transition page before multiplication sentences. Difficulty: Easy to medium. Page 5: Arrays and Repeated Addition Skill Focus: Connecting arrays to repeated addition. Student Directions: Write a repeated addition sentence for each array. Activity: Students write equations such as 4 + 4 + 4 = 12. Answer Key: Accept equivalent repeated addition when mathematically correct. Teacher Note: Discuss whether students are adding rows or columns. Difficulty: Medium. Page 6: Match the Array Skill Focus: Matching arrays to repeated addition. Student Directions: Draw a line to match each array to the correct repeated addition sentence. Activity: Matching task. Answer Key: Exact matches. Teacher Note: Good for partner practice. Difficulty: Medium. Page 7: Build the Addition Sentence Skill Focus: Writing repeated addition from visual models. Student Directions: Complete the repeated addition sentence. Activity: Fill-in-the-blank equations. Answer Key: Exact answers. Page 8: Repeated Addition Review Skill Focus: Mixed review. Student Directions: Look at each array. Write a repeated addition sentence and the total. Activity: Students complete two-part responses. Answer Key: Sample valid answers. Page 9: Arrays and Multiplication Sentences Skill Focus: Writing multiplication equations. Student Directions: Write a multiplication sentence for each array. Activity: Students write rows x columns = total. Answer Key: Accept commutative equations when appropriate, but teach a consistent convention. Teacher Note: Clarify how your class writes rows and columns. Page 10: Match the Multiplication Sentence Skill Focus: Equation matching. Student Directions: Match each array to the correct multiplication sentence. Activity: Matching arrays to equations. Page 11: Draw the Array Skill Focus: Creating visual models. Student Directions: Draw an array to match each multiplication sentence. Activity: Students draw arrays. Answer Key: Answers may vary in orientation. Check total and equal rows/columns.
