Lego Multiplication: Groups of and Arrays

Make multiplication fun with legos! A lego brick represents one group. Kids count the studs to figure out the multiplication equation. For example 2 lego bricks with 4 studs (2 groups of 4) equals 2 x 4. Then, they solve it! (2 x 4 = 8) 


Kids can also find arrays on legos to help with their multiplication skills. When you look at the studs on top a lego, you see an array! Kids examine the rows to figure out the equation. For example, one lego brick with 8 studs (2 horizontal rows of 4 studs, 2 x 4 = 8)
