Learning Objectives

1

Identify arrays in everyday objects

2

Recognize how arrays demonstrate God's orderly design

3

Develop observational skills for mathematical patterns

📖 Scripture Connection

1 Corinthians 14:40

“Let all things be done decently and in order.”

— 1 Corinthians 14:40 (WEB)

God values order and arrangement, just like arrays demonstrate mathematical organization
