Rectangular Arrays Explore rectangular arrays and the concrete Level of Knowing Mathematics using some of these prompts. Arrange a rectangular array with your tiles. What is the equation for that arrangement? Is there another equation that could be written for the same arrangement? If 6 x 3 is 18, why can you double 18 to find out that the product of 6 x 6 is 36? Show your explanation with the tiles, then sketch it and write an explanation. Arrange a square with your tiles. Use the tiles to demonstrate a square number. Sketch their arrangement and write an equation that represents your sketch. What other equations could represent that same sketch? Give an example of something in this room or at your home that naturally is arranged in a rectangular array.
