What this sheet practices
A dot array is described as rows of equal size, then written as repeated addition. This is the visual step between skip counting and a multiplication fact.
Errors worth watching for
- Counting all dots one by one instead of using rows.
- Writing 4 + 4 + 4 for three rows of four (the row/column swap).
How to use it
- Set the difficulty. Easy narrows the range; challenge adds missing values or extra steps.
- Choose how many questions and how many fit on a page. Ten per page is the most readable default.
- Print, or save as PDF. Replace any single question with the circular arrow if it does not fit your group.

About this generator
Why arrays instead of pictures?
Arrays show equal groups precisely. A picture of apples invites counting, not multiplying.
Should my child write the multiplication fact too?
Yes — ask for both the repeated addition and the matching fact, e.g. 3 × 4 = 12.
Can I print this worksheet on A4 paper?
Yes. Switch Paper to A4 in the settings panel. The layout recalculates the page height and keeps 0.5-inch margins, so nothing is cut off.
Is an answer key included?
The generator always produces an answer key and worked solutions. They are part of the pass; the student sheet can be previewed and printed for free.
