Array City

Welcome to Array City!

Students have been learning that multiplication can be represented in a variety of ways. One way to model multiplication is with arrays. An array is an an arrangement of objects in rows and columns.

Our buildings have windows aglow in a winter's night skyline. 

Arrays are everywhere!
