Description
An array turns a picture into a number sentence, and this Using Arrays to Write Addition Equations Worksheet shows second graders exactly how. Each card holds a neat array of apples in equal rows. Students count how many apples sit in one row, count how many rows there are, and then write the repeated addition sentence that gives the total. Because every row holds the same number, students see why addition of equal groups works, which is the bridge second grade builds toward multiplication.
Using this using arrays to write addition equations worksheet, students work through six arrays that grow from two rows of three apples up to three rows of five. The rows and columns change from card to card, so no child can copy a pattern down the page. The writing rule under each array gives plenty of room for a full number sentence, and a complete answer key follows on the last page, so a teacher or parent can check all six cards in a few seconds.
What’s Included
- One printable worksheet page with six apple arrays in equal rows
- A writing rule under every array for the number sentence
- Arrays from two rows of three up to three rows of five
- A complete answer key with the number sentence for each array
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Counting equal rows builds the group thinking that multiplication rests on
- Writing the sentence themselves turns a picture into math they can explain
- Apples give a concrete object to count when the numbers feel abstract
Teacher and Parent Ideas
- Ask students to say the array out loud first: three rows of four apples
- Have them circle each row in a different color before they write
- Build one array with counters or blocks, then match it to a card on the page
- Come back later and write a multiplication sentence beside each addition one
This 2nd grade arrays worksheet suits classroom practice, small group work, homeschool math, tutoring, and review before a unit test. Print it, hand it out, and let students turn six pictures into six number sentences they can read back to you.
