Arrays

 

Rows and columns!

Rows and columns!

That's an array, a multiplication array!

 

It's a picture of a problem,

Rectangles or squares

With no left-overs, I declare!

When you see an array,

Just smile and say, "Multiplication is coming my way!"

 

Rows and columns!

Rows and columns!

That's an array, a multiplication array!

 

When you see an array always count the rows first

That's the first factor in your sentence.

Then count the columns, that's factor two

Multiply it out, there's the answer for you!

 

Rows and columns!

Rows and columns!

That's an array, a multiplication array!

 

A Hershey bar

A carton of eggs

A checkerboard

They're all arrays!

 

4 X 3

Four rows of three

Four rows three columns

Now you see!

 

Rows and columns!

Rows and columns!
