Our mathematicians worked collaboratively in groups to explore the **commutative property of multiplication** by building and comparing arrays! 🧮✨ Students were able to see firsthand that while the order of the factors may change, the product stays the same!
Hands-on learning + teamwork = growing mathematicians! 🦁💙
