Learning Multiplication Facts

We were able to learn about how multiplication by building arrays.  We shook dice to find out how many rows and how many towers we needed to cut out.  We used chart paper to make the arrays.  For example, if they shook a 4 and a 6 they would cut out 4 rows across and 6 towers then write 4 x 6 equals 24 squares.  We covered a large piece of construction paper with different arrays.
