Multiplication/Division Test

Multiplication is a way to add a number to itself a certain number of times. For example, 3 x 4 means adding 3 four times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12.

Division is splitting a number into equal parts. For example, 12 ÷ 4 means splitting 12 into 4 equal groups, which gives 3.

A repeated addition sentence shows how many times a number is added together. For example, 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 is a repeated addition sentence for 3 x 4.

A fact family is a group of related addition and subtraction or multiplication and division facts using the same numbers. For example, the numbers 3, 4, and 12 can form the fact family: 3 x 4 = 12, 4 x 3 = 12, 12 ÷ 3 = 4, 12 ÷ 4 = 3.

7 x 4 = 28.

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If you know that 4 x 7 = 28, then you also know that 28 ÷ 4 = 7.

To share equally means to divide a total into the same number of parts. For example, if you have 20 pennies and 4 children, each child gets 5 pennies.

2 x 7 = 14.

28 ÷ 4 = 7.

5 x 3 can be written as 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.
