Multiplication/Division Fact Family Practice

Front

What is multiplication?

Back

Multiplication is a mathematical operation where a number is added to itself a certain number of times. For example, 3 multiplied by 4 (3 x 4) means adding 3 four times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12.

Front

What is division?

Back

Division is a mathematical operation where a number is split into equal parts. For example, 12 divided by 3 (12 ÷ 3) means splitting 12 into 3 equal parts, which equals 4.

Front

What is a fact family?

Back

A fact family is a group of related addition and subtraction or multiplication and division equations that use the same numbers. For example, the numbers 2, 3, and 6 can form the fact family: 2 + 3 = 5, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 - 2 = 3, 5 - 3 = 2.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. This means that if you multiply two numbers, you can divide the product by one of the numbers to get the other number. For example, if 4 x 5 = 20, then 20 ÷ 5 = 4.

Front

How do you represent repeated subtraction?

Back

Repeated subtraction is a way to show division. For example, if you have 18 and you subtract 6 three times (18 - 6 - 6 - 6), you reach 0, which shows that 18 ÷ 6 = 3.

What is the equation for 5 multiplied by 9?

Back

5 x 9 = 45.

Front

What is the equation for 45 divided by 5?

Back

45 ÷ 5 = 9.
