Making arrays

Here we are learning to make arrays to solve multiplication problems using different equipment.
We know that we need to have rows and columns when forming arrays.
We were given word problems and then had to make arrays to show our understanding.
Word Problem One: On the bookshelf there are seven rows of books. In each row there are three books. How many books altogether are on the bookshelf?
                                                              

Word Problem Two: Miss Heaps has a vegie garden with two rows of potatoes. In each row there are six potato plants. How many plants altogether in her vegie garden?


Word Problem Three: In the classroom there are three rows of three chairs. How many chairs are there in the classroom?
