Count Arrays (Rows and Columns): what children learn

An array shows equal rows and columns, so kids can count by rows instead of one at a time. Seeing 4 + 4 + 4 in the rows shows how arrays connect to repeated addition.

Count Arrays (Rows and Columns): worked example

An array has 3 rows with 4 dots in each row. How many dots are there in all? 12

Each row has 4 dots and there are 3 rows. 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.

Count Arrays (Rows and Columns): a common mistake to watch for

Kids sometimes count only one row or one column instead of every object.

Count Arrays (Rows and Columns): how to help at home or in class

A muffin tin or an egg carton is a ready-made array. Ask your child to count one row, say how many rows there are, and add the rows together instead of pointing at every cup. Then turn the tray sideways and count again to discover that the total does not change. When your child counts by rows quickly and without pointing, the next step is writing the matching addition sentence.
