Arrays Multiplication Worksheet: Butterflies and Bees

About this worksheet

Four dashed panels sit under the heading “Arrays & Multiplication,” and the instruction asks the child to count the rows and columns before writing the multiplication sentence. Panel 1 is filled in as an example, 2 rows of 3 butterflies making 6, leaving three to do: 3 rows of 3 turtles, 3 rows of 6 red umbrellas, and 5 rows of 2 bees. The umbrella array is the biggest at 18, so it is worth saving a little patience for.

This one works well as a first independent try after arrays have been introduced in class. Because one of the four pictures is an object rather than an animal, it also quietly makes the point that an array is about arrangement, not about what is being arranged.

What students will practice

• Count the rows and columns in an array
• Turn a picture into a multiplication sentence
• Find the total without counting one by one
