Ask your helper to time you for 60 seconds. Complete as many of the questions in the first
column as you can, then mark them together. Next week, try and beat your score using the
next column.

 Array for Maths!
Write two multiplication sentences for each of these arrays. The first one has been done for you.

4 × 3 = 12
3 × 4 = 12

Write two division sentences for each of these arrays. Try using coloured pencils to group
the dots.

15 ÷ 5 = 3
15 ÷ 3 = 5

What do you notice about the last one?

 Commutativity
The commutative property of multiplication means that when two numbers are multiplied
together it doesn’t matter which one comes first because the product will be the same. Division
does not have commutativity.

4 × 2 = 2 × 1 × 3 = 3 ×

3 × 5 = 5 × 3 × 10 = 10 ×

7 × 10 = 10 × 11 × 3 = 3 ×
