We built yummy arrays with jelly beans! Students started with 16 jelly beans and then arranged them into equal rows. We created a flip flap book to record the array, the repeated addition sentence and the multiplication equation. Yum!
This lesson comes from Ashleigh Swinford's multiplication unit!
Such a good idea! Kids always seem to get extra excited when food is involved!
