What is multiplication?

Back

Multiplication is a mathematical operation that represents the repeated addition of a number. For example, 4 multiplied by 3 (4 x 3) means adding 4 three times (4 + 4 + 4), which equals 12.

Front

What is division?

Back

Division is the process of determining how many times one number is contained within another. For example, dividing 12 by 3 (12 ÷ 3) means finding out how many groups of 3 can fit into 12, which equals 4.

Front

What is a quotient?

Back

A quotient is the result of dividing one number by another. For example, in the division 20 ÷ 5, the quotient is 4.

Front

How do you calculate the total earnings over multiple months?

Back

To calculate total earnings over multiple months, multiply the monthly earnings by the number of months. For example, if Jackson earns $75 a month for 3 months, the total is 75 x 3 = $225.

Front

What is the formula for finding the total number of items in multiple boxes?

Back

To find the total number of items in multiple boxes, multiply the number of items in one box by the number of boxes. For example, if there are 32 bananas in each box and there are 53 boxes, the total is 32 x 53 = 1,696 bananas.

Front

What is the process to find the product of two numbers?

Back

To find the product of two numbers, multiply them together. For example, to find the product of 99 and 38, calculate 99 x 38 = 3,762.

Front

How do you find the average number of items made per day?

Back

To find the average number of items made per day, divide the total number of items by the number of days they are open. For example, if 5,628 sandwiches are made in 2 weeks (14 days), but closed on Sundays, they are open for 12 days. So, 5,628 ÷ 12 = 469 sandwiches per day.

Front

What is the importance of understanding place value in multiplication?

Back

Understanding place value helps in multiplying larger numbers by breaking them down into manageable parts. For example, in 99 x 38, you can break 99 into 90 and 9, making the multiplication easier.

Front

What is a mathematical operation?

Back

A mathematical operation is a calculation that combines numbers in a specific way, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Front

What does it mean to multiply by a whole number?

Back

Multiplying by a whole number means taking a number and adding it to itself a certain number of times. For example, 5 x 4 means adding 5 four times (5 + 5 + 5 + 5) which equals 20.
