Multiplication on a Number Line

Front

What is a multiplication sentence?

Back

A multiplication sentence is a mathematical statement that shows the multiplication of two numbers, expressed in the form 'a x b = c', where 'a' and 'b' are the factors and 'c' is the product.

How can multiplication be represented on a number line?

Back

Multiplication can be represented on a number line by showing equal jumps or intervals. For example, to represent 3 x 4, you would make 3 jumps of 4 units each on the number line.

What does the equation 5 x 3 = 15 represent on a number line?

Back

The equation 5 x 3 = 15 represents 5 jumps of 3 units each on the number line, resulting in a total of 15 units.

Front

What is the commutative property of multiplication?

Back

The commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product, i.e., a x b = b x a.

Front

What multiplication fact does the number line showing 3 jumps of 5 represent?

Back

The number line showing 3 jumps of 5 represents the multiplication fact 3 x 5 = 15.

Front

How do you determine the product of two numbers using a number line?

Back

To determine the product of two numbers using a number line, count the number of equal jumps (the first number) and the size of each jump (the second number), then multiply them to find the total distance.

What multiplication sentence is shown on a number line with 3 jumps of 6?

Back

The multiplication sentence shown is 3 x 6 = 18.

Front

What is the product of 6 x 4?

Back

The product of 6 x 4 is 24, which can be represented on a number line as 6 jumps of 4 units each.

Front

If a number line shows 4 jumps of 3, what multiplication sentence does it represent?

Back

It represents the multiplication sentence 4 x 3 = 12.

Front

What does it mean if a number line does not correctly show the equation 4 x 3 = 12?

Back

It means that the number of jumps or the size of the jumps on the number line does not correspond to the factors in the multiplication sentence.
