Intro to Counting in Groups (Arrays)
What you will learn from this videoWhat you will learn
- We'll learn how to count in GROUPS.
- We will also learn that we can organize things into equal rows to make them easier to count.
- And we’ll explore how this knowledge can help us count how many tennis balls, juice boxes and cupcakes we have!

Discussion Questions
- Before VideoHow can you skip count by 5s?ANSWER
Each number is 5 more than the number before it. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.
Each number is 10 more than the number before it. 10, 20, 30, 40, etc.
When you skip count by 5s, you add 5 each time.
I add the first two together. Then I add the last number to the sum.
12
- After VideoWhat is repeated addition?ANSWER
Repeated addition is adding the same number over and over again. For example, 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 is repeated addition.
A row is a group of objects in a line. Rows go left and right.
An array is a group of equal rows that are lined up.
There are 4 dots in each row. Add 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.
Add 5 + 5 = 10.

Line up tennis balls in an array.
You have 4 packs of 3 tennis balls. Line up the equal groups. Each group is called a row. Rows go left and right. When you line up equal rows, the whole thing is called an array.

You have some googly eyes. Arrange the googly eyes into an array. There are 4 rows with 2 eyes in each row. Count by 2s: 2, 4, 6, 8 eyes. This is the same as 2 + 2 + 2 + 2. Adding equal groups repeatedly is called repeated addition.

You have a box of cupcakes. The cupcakes are in an array. There are 5 rows, and each row has 5 cupcakes. Count by 5s to count them all: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. You can show this as repeated addition: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25.
Count cupcakes in groups of 5. You have a box of cupcakes. The cupcakes are in an array. There are 5 rows, and each row has 5 cupcakes. Count by 5s to count them all: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. You can show this as repeated addition: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25. -
