Giant Magnetic Array Set - Set of 2

Easily demonstrate multiplication on the whiteboard for the entire class with this array set! These giant magnetic arrays and colourful discs allow students and teachers to explore multiplication as repeated addition. The set includes 2 magnetic 5 x 5 arrays, 25 purple magnetic discs, and 25 orange magnetic discs. It also comes with an activity guide featuring ideas for cooperative work with the entire class. This set will help you reinforce key concepts like counting, repeated addition, multiplication, operations, algebraic thinking, and much more. The counters in two colours make it possible to show number patterns. Start off with 2s and 5s because of the easy skip counting, and move on to 3s and 4s when students master the concept. Each array measures approximately 25 x 25 cm.
