Six arrays of dots in neat rows. Children count the rows, then the dots in each row, and write it two ways: “4 rows of 5 = 20” and “4 × 5 = 20”. An array is the clearest picture of multiplication, because every row is the same size; turn the page on its side and 4 rows of 5 become 5 rows of 4, with the same total. The dots are big enough to colour, so children can colour each row as they count it.
