About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students find the total in arrays up to 5 by 5 by adding equal rows or equal columns.
  • Students write an addition equation with equal addends to match an array.
  • Students tell whether an equation adds the rows or the columns of an array.

How to use

Have students trace each column or row with a finger as they add. Use the orchard stories and the drawing in the last section for partner talk or a quick check.

Apple Orchard Arrays

Add equal rows and columns to count apples and trees.

Packing crates

Each crate holds apples in equal rows. Add the rows or the columns to find how many apples.

1.
Add the columns of this crate.

4 + 4 =   apples

2.
Write an addition equation that adds the columns of this crate.

  +   +   +   +   =  

3.
Mila splits this crate in half. She adds the top 2 rows, then the bottom 2 rows.

Top 2 rows: 5 + 5 =  
Bottom 2 rows: 5 + 5 =  
Whole crate: 10 + 10 =   apples

4.
Which equation does not show the total number of apples in this crate?
  • A. 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
  • B. 3 + 4 = 7
  • C. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

Rows or columns?

Look closely at how each equation adds the apples.

5.
Sort each equation for this crate. Does it add the rows, add the columns, or not match the crate?
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 22 + 55 + 55 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 52 + 2
Adds the rowsAdds the columnsDoes not match
6.
Match each crate to the equation that adds its rows.
  1. 2 rows of 3 apples
  2. 3 rows of 2 apples
  3. 3 rows of 3 apples
  4. 2 rows of 2 apples
  1. A. 3 + 3 + 3
  2. B. 2 + 2
  3. C. 3 + 3
  4. D. 2 + 2 + 2
7.
Ana's crate has 3 rows with 5 apples in each row. Ben's crate has 4 rows with 4 apples in each row.

How many apples does Ana have?  
How many apples does Ben have?  
Who has more apples?  

Orchard stories

Farmer Rosa plants apple trees in equal rows. Use addition to solve each story.

8.
Rosa plants 4 rows of apple trees. There are 3 trees in each row. Write an addition equation with equal addends to find how many trees she plants.

  +   +   +   =   trees

9.
Next, Rosa plants 1 more row of 3 trees next to the 4 rows. Now there are 5 rows. How many trees are in the orchard now?

  trees

10.
This crate has 3 rows of 4 apples. Draw 1 more row of 4 apples under it. Then write an addition equation for the full crate.
11.
Rosa has 12 apples. She wants to pack them in a crate in equal rows. The crate can hold at most 5 rows and at most 5 apples in a row. Find two different ways. Write an addition equation for each way.
