An array is a group of pictures or numbers in columns (which go up and down) and rows (which go across) - we can use them to help us add up multiple numbers!

We have three array activities for you today:

  • The Rainbow Arrays
  • Clowns & Buttons
  • Create your own arrays

If you finish all of these activities - the last slide has a link to a game, where you can practise making more arrays online.
