Multiplication and Division with Strip Diagrams

Front

What is a strip diagram?

Back

A strip diagram is a visual representation used to illustrate mathematical concepts, particularly multiplication and division, by showing parts of a whole in a linear format.

Front

How do you represent multiplication using a strip diagram?

Back

Multiplication can be represented in a strip diagram by dividing a strip into equal parts, where the number of parts represents one factor and the length of each part represents the other factor.

What is the equation represented by a strip diagram showing 4 groups of 5?

Back

The equation is 4 x 5 = 20.

Front

If a strip diagram shows 6 equal parts and the total length is 30, what is the value of each part?

Back

Each part is 5, since 30 divided by 6 equals 5.

Front

What is the product of a strip diagram that shows 9 groups of 4?

Back

The product is 36, since 9 x 4 = 36.

Front

How can you use a strip diagram to solve a word problem involving total quantity?

Back

You can represent the total quantity as the length of the strip and divide it into equal parts to find the number of groups or the size of each group.

What equation is represented by a strip diagram showing 8 groups of 3?

Back

The equation is 8 x 3 = 24.

Front

In a word problem, if Kyle has 3 barrels of apples with 8 apples each, how can a strip diagram represent this?

Back

The strip diagram would show 3 equal sections, each representing 8 apples, leading to the equation 3 x 8 = 24.

Front

How do you determine how many groups can be made from a total using a strip diagram?

Back

You can divide the total by the size of each group to find the number of groups.
