Little Mathematicians in Year 1

Children enjoyed making arrays using concrete and pictorial representations to help them develop a deep understanding of the concept of multiplication.

They made equal groups of objects that are the same in size, shape, and value.

The children were able to understand multiplication and build strong mental math skills by describing arrays using repeated addition. They gained an in-depth understanding of the concepts involved by breaking an array into smaller parts and then adding them together. They created a strong foundation for future mathematical concepts by using repeated addition to quickly and effectively solve multiplication problems with concrete material
