Second graders in Ms. Hernandez’s class took their understanding of arrays to a whole new level — they built their very own Array City!

Using rows and columns, students designed buildings, windows, and city blocks, showing off both their math skills and creativity. Each structure was a mini‑math masterpiece, proving that learning arrays can be hands‑on, visual, and a whole lot of fun.

Way to go, young mathematicians — your city is shining bright! 🌟
