The “Color the Array” printable worksheet is a fantastic hands-on tool for teaching multiplication through visual learning. Children are guided to color each array based on the multiplication fact provided, reinforcing both multiplication fluency and spatial reasoning.
Benefits of this worksheet:
- Helps children visualize multiplication as repeated addition and area models.
- Builds a strong conceptual foundation in math, essential for higher-level thinking.
- Supports fine motor skills through careful coloring within grid boxes.
- Promotes independent problem-solving and self-checking, as students see if their coloring matches the multiplication total.
- Fun, interactive format helps reduce math anxiety and boost engagement.
Just print the worksheet and have coloring tools ready (crayons, markers, or pencils). No sign-up or subscription—this resource is free and ready to use.
Words and concepts children will learn:
- Numbers and multiplication facts (e.g., 4×5, 6×2, 7×3)
- Vocabulary like rows, columns, array, equal groups, total, times
- Counting in sequences (e.g., by 2s, 3s, 5s, 6s, 7s)
- Visual recognition of multiplication patterns
How to use it:
Children solve the multiplication problem above each array, then color the corresponding number of squares by rows or columns (e.g., 4×5 = 20, so they color 4 rows of 5 squares). This encourages both computation and comprehension. Teachers can use this in class for independent work or centers, and parents can use it at home for fun math practice.
