Today we looked at arrays, which are patterns made by numbers. You can make a division sum using an array. The first array shown has 18 parts. There are 3 rows and 6 columns, so 18 divided by 3 is 6.
Here are some arrays for 36. There are lots of arrays with 36 parts, so we can make lots of division sums that start with 36.
Some numbers cannot make an array at all. They are called
prime numbers. You will learn lots more about prime numbers in the next few years of your education. They are very useful in mathematics.
