Grade 2 Multiplication Array Worksheets: Rows, Columns, and Repeated Addition

These Grade 2 multiplication array worksheets build the idea of times from things a child can see and count. On the array pages a grid of pictures sits in neat rows and columns, and the child counts the rows, counts how many are in each row, and writes the repeated addition that matches — three rows of four is four plus four plus four. Other sheets gather objects into equal groups and ask how many there are altogether, or split a set into fair shares so the child meets grouping and sharing side by side. Counting rows and columns, turning equal groups into repeated addition, and seeing how repeated addition becomes multiplication are exactly the readiness skills a second grader needs. The arrays are large and evenly spaced, so a child can point along each row, count the groups, and write the matching sum without any rush.

In this set a child sees multiplication as equal groups before any times tables. They count the rows and columns of an array, write it as repeated addition, and decide how many groups a set makes. The pictures are clear and the numbers stay small, so the jump from adding equal groups to the idea of times feels natural rather than sudden.

When your child can read an array and write it as repeated addition, you can print more of these multiplication worksheets as a PDF and keep going on paper. It is all free, with no sign-up and no account, and there are no timers or scores to rush a careful count of the rows. A miscount is just a reason to point along the array again. The Grade 3 multiplication worksheets move on to facts, missing factors, and dividing into equal groups, and you can browse every printable multiplication worksheet to choose the next page.
