Our study of multiplication has begun! This week the students learned that multiplication is really just repeated addition and it can be shown in a variety of ways. Here the students are lined up in an array to show equal groups.





Students then made arrays to show a multiplication fact and their classmates named the fact for each array.






Below: Students are adding windows to a city skyscraper as part of our Array City. Keep posted for a photo of our final product.
Culture Boxes: The Third Graders presented their Culture Boxes to all of the Lower School students. Each small group of students rotated to different stations where a Third Grader shared information about his/her box. Thank you, Third Graders. We learned lots!
