Multiplication and Division Within 100 Pre-assessment

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 4 (12 ÷ 4) means splitting 12 into 4 equal parts, which equals 3.

Front

How do you find the total number of items when each person gets the same amount?

Back

You multiply the number of people by the amount each person gets. For example, if 6 friends each get 5 cookies, you calculate 6 x 5 = 30 cookies.

Front

What is the equation for finding out how many cookies each friend gets?

Back

To find out how many cookies each friend gets, you divide the total number of cookies by the number of friends. For example, 90 cookies divided by 6 friends equals 15 cookies per friend.

Front

If you have 7 kids and 49 candies, how many candies does each kid get?

Back

You divide the total candies by the number of kids: 49 candies ÷ 7 kids = 7 candies per kid.

Front

What is a multiplication equation?

Back

A multiplication equation shows the relationship between two numbers being multiplied to get a product. For example, 7 x 6 = 42.

Front

What is a division equation?

Back

A division equation shows how a number is split into equal parts. For example, 42 ÷ 6 = 7.

Front

How can you check if your division is correct?

Back

You can check your division by multiplying the quotient (the answer) by the divisor (the number you divided by) to see if you get the original number.

Front

What does it mean to evenly split items?

Back

To evenly split items means to divide them so that each person or group gets the same amount without any leftovers.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. This means that if you know one, you can find the other. For example, if 4 x 5 = 20, then 20 ÷ 5 = 4.
