Back

Splitting numbers in multiplication means breaking a number into smaller parts to make the multiplication easier. For example, 6 x 7 can be split into (6 x 5) + (6 x 2).

Front

What is the result of (2 x 9) + (2 x 9)?

Back

The result is 36, which is equal to 4 x 9.

Front

Is (1 + 3) x 9 equal to 4 x 9?

Back

Yes, both expressions equal 36.

Front

Back

The value is 36, which is equal to 4 x 9.

Front

How do you find the total number of muffins if Claire has 6 plates with 7 muffins each?

Back

You can find the total by multiplying the number of plates by the number of muffins per plate: 6 x 7 = 42 muffins.

Front

Which expression shows Claire's model for 6 plates with 7 muffins each?

Back

The expression is (7 x 4) + (7 x 2).

Front

What is the result of (4 x 4) + (4 x 4)?

Back

The result is 32, which is not equal to 4 x 9.

Front

What is the first step in solving (1 + 3) x 9?

Back

The first step is to add 1 and 3, which equals 4, then multiply by 9.

Front

What does the equation (7 + 4) x (7 + 2) represent?

Back

It represents a way to calculate the total number of muffins using different groupings.
