Use Arrays to Multiply (by 6 and 7)

Break apart arrays to multiply by 6 and 7.

3rd Grade - Math - Build on Known Multiplication Facts

About This Skill

On Iqleel, Grade 3 students will visualize multiplication by 6 and 7 using arrays. They will practice breaking apart these arrays into smaller, known sections (like a 5-array and a 2-array to solve a 7-fact). This visual method reinforces the distributive property and helps students use facts they already know to solve more challenging multiplication problems.

Curriculum Alignment

  • AC9M3N04: multiply and divide one- and two-digit numbers, representing problems using number sentences, diagrams and arrays, and using a variety of calculation strategies
  • ENG-MATH-Y3-MD.2: Write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that they know, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods.
  • NY-3.OA.5
  • 3.OA.B.5: Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
