Skill Focus

What this worksheet practices

Arrays are a Grade 2 bridge from equal groups to later multiplication, and Sprout's Garden makes that bridge something a child can walk. Every garden bed is planted in equal rows, so students describe each bed with repeated addition rather than a multiplication sign. Holding the times sign back keeps the focus on the Grade 2 standard: seeing equal rows and adding them up (2.OA.C.4).

Each bed asks for a repeated-addition sentence and a total. A bed with 3 rows of 5 carrots becomes 5 + 5 + 5 = 15: one addend for each row, then the sum. Reading the same bed by its columns can come later; the first goal is to connect equal rows to a reliable counting structure.

If a child counts every square one by one, have them circle rows and skip count. The visual should make the counting easier. Over time, students begin to recognize totals like 4 rows of 5 without recounting each cell.

Worked Examples

How to approach this skill

Arrays practice is easier to review when the student can explain the steps, not just the answer.

01

3 rows of 5

  1. There are 3 equal rows.
  2. Each row has 5.
  3. 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.
02

4 rows of 2

  1. Use one addend for each row.
  2. 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8.
  3. Total: 8.
03

5 rows of 4

  1. Count by 4s: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20.
  2. Write 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20.
  3. Total: 20.

FAQ

Arrays questions

Does this introduce multiplication facts?

No. It prepares for multiplication through repeated addition and arrays.

What array sizes are included?

Beds range from 2 rows to 5 rows and 2 to 6 in a row (arrays 2×2 up to 5×4, totals to 25).

Can students write column readings too?

Yes, but the answer key gives the row reading used by the prompt.
