Today you will be exploring arrays.
Parents
Children begin to make arrays by making equal groups and building them up in columns or rows.
They use a range of concrete and pictorial representations alongside sentence stems to support their understanding.
Children also explore arrays built incorrectly and recognise the importance of columns and rows.
