Write addition sentences for arrays: sums to 10

In an array, objects are in rows and columns. This is an array of circles.

Rows go side-to-side.

There are 3 rows. There are 4 circles in each row.

Columns go up-and-down.

There are 4 columns. There are 3 circles in each column.

Learn with an example

Use repeated addition to describe the array.

The addition number sentence has 4 parts because the array has 4 rows.

Count the circles in the row.

There are 2 circles in the row.

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = ?

Add the parts to get the sum.

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8

Use repeated addition to describe the array.

The addition number sentence has 2 parts because the array has 2 rows.

Count the triangles in the row.

There are 3 triangles in the row.

3 + 3 = ?
Add the parts to get the sum.

3 + 3 = 6

Use repeated addition to describe the array.

The addition number sentence has 2 parts because the array has 2 rows.

Count the triangles in the row.

There are 4 triangles in the row.

4 + 4 = ?

Add the parts to get the sum.
