Arrays in Real Life

How are you doing with learning from home?  To help you out with some real life math fun, I wanted to share with you some pictures that were taken at school over the last few months of real life arrays.  Arrays are objects arranged in equal groups and we can use counting, addition or multiplication to figure out how many. 

Here are some real life arrays that I found this year at school and in the real world.  Can you figure out how many in each picture?  I have turned comments on for the blog for now so feel free to submit your answers!  Comments will not appear right away, I have to approve them first!

How many eggs can fit in this carton? 


How many number cards does this student have on the floor?  (Who got number cards in their math box for at home learning?  Have you showed your parents all the things you can do with them?)


How many slits in this ACS heater? 


How many tiles on this section of the ACS kitchen floor? 


I took this picture at Castleton State University.  How many window panes? 

Kids in grades 3-6 figured out how many window panes in this skylight in Union Station, Chicago back in December.  (You can't see the entire thing in this shot!) 



If you want to share your answers, you can in the comment box below!

Can you find a real life array at your house?  If you want to share it with your classmates, I will post your real life arrays to the blog.  Send them to me in an email! (ttrudo)
