Grade 3 · 3.OA.B.5. This is the one multiplication-array mode that does not duplicate the Grade 2 equal-groups activity. Students use the same array to see why changing factor order keeps the product.
Read each array by rows and by columns, then write both multiplication equations. Use New problems to create another printable set while keeping the same activity and level.
Ask the learner to describe rows first and columns second. Both equations must name the same total even though the factors change places. Switch to Answer key to check the exact same pictures and numbers. Choose the worksheet, the answer key, or both in the print controls. The activity is free to print for home or classroom use and is designed to fit on one US Letter or A4 page.
Keep the first session short and let the child explain one answer in words. A correct explanation shows whether the picture, number, or model makes sense. Generate a new set for another day instead of repeating memorized positions.
