A labelling worksheet on arrays for Year 1 maths. Pupils use a five-word bank to label the row, column, dot, array and total on a diagram of dots, writing each word against the right leader line. The answer key gives all five labels. It supports the England National Curriculum objective on solving one-step multiplication problems using arrays.
Number — multiplication and division
“Solve one-step problems involving multiplication and division, by calculating the answer using concrete objects, pictorial representations and arrays with the support of the teacher.”
Naming the parts of an array gives pupils the language for array-based problems.
Five terms: total, column, array, dot and row.
An array of dots with five leader lines, A to E, for pupils to label.
All five answers listed by letter.
