Represent multiplication/Division

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

What does the equation 3 x 4 = 12 represent?

Back

This equation represents that if you have 3 groups of 4, the total is 12.

Front

What does the equation 12 ÷ 4 = 3 represent?

Back

This equation represents that if you divide 12 into 4 equal parts, each part is 3.

Front

What is repeated addition?

Back

Repeated addition is adding the same number multiple times. For example, 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 can be expressed as 4 x 5.

Front

What is an array in multiplication?

Back

An array is a visual representation of multiplication using rows and columns. For example, a 4 by 6 array represents 4 x 6.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If a x b = c, then c ÷ b = a.
