Lead Speaker:
Anne Reynolds
Co-Speaker:

Arrays are frequently used to help students explore multiplication and area, yet research indicates that students often find it very difficult to make sense of the array structure. We will present activities that we have successfully used to help students develop imagery for arrays and thus develop multiplicative thinking.
