The purpose of this Warm-up is for students to compare four arrangements of dots to elicit the attributes, or structure, of an array. It gives students a reason to use language precisely (MP6). It gives the teacher an opportunity to hear how students use terminology and talk about characteristics of the items in comparison to one another. During the discussion, ask students to explain the meaning of any terminology they use, such as “rows,” “columns,” “groups,” and “array.”

Card Sort Arrays Cards
The purpose of this activity is for students to relate drawings of equal groups to arrays. Specifically, students identify arrays that have the same number of objects in each row or column as each drawing has in each group. In some arrays, the equal groups in the drawing are represented as rows, and in some, they are represented in columns. Students have the opportunity to explain the connections they see between the drawings and arrays, receive feedback from their peers, and revise their explanation for precision and clarity (MP3, MP6). This will be useful in future lessons when students record multiplication expressions and equations to represent arrays.

The purpose of this activity is for students to draw arrays from given arrangements of dots. Students draw an array from dots in equal groups to reinforce the definition of an array and then draw as many arrays as they can from 16 randomly placed dots. Having cubes or counters for students to physically rearrange would be helpful in this activity.
Dibuja una manera en la que se podrían reorganizar los puntos en un arreglo.
“Hoy hicimos dibujos que mostraban cómo se podían reorganizar grupos de puntos en arreglos” // “Today we made drawings that showed how groups of dots could be rearranged into arrays.”
“¿En qué tienen que pensar cuando dibujan un arreglo?” // “What do you need to think about when you draw an array?” (Make sure all the rows have the same number of dots and all the columns have the same number of dots. Make the number of groups the number of columns or rows in the array and then draw how many are in each group in each column or row. All the dots have to be used.)
