Who doesn’t love learning about animals? Engage students in research as they write informational books about animals.

In this scavenger hunt lesson, students will look for rectangular arrays within their school environment. Whether it is a set of cubbies or windows, students will see that arrays are all around us.

Let your students explore similarities and differences between arrays, and help them understand the commutative property of multiplication. Use this as a stand alone lesson or as a prelesson for Parking Lot Multiplication.
