2.G.2 Second Grade Common Core Lesson

Description

How to teach Arrays

In this 2.G.2 Second Grade Common Core Lesson, students will partition a rectangle into rows and columns of the same size squares and count to find the total number of them.

Arrays will help your students organize objects to begin to learn about multiplication and division. In this lesson, students will split bars of chocolate into equal columns and rows.

Students will roll the die and then split the chocolate bar into that number of equal pieces. For additional practice, students can start with one die and then, use two dice. After the activity, students can use the activity page to continue practicing!
