Array
3 rows of 4 = 12
Understand it. Practice it. Use it.
Use visual models or practice selected facts. Work carefully and use a strategy whenever a fact is not automatic yet.
Build meaning first
Choose two factors. The array shows equal rows and equal groups.
3 × 4 = 12
4 + 4 + 4 = 12
12 ÷ 3 = 4
12 ÷ 4 = 3
Double the other factor, then double again.
