Multiplication and Division Practice

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

What is an estimate in multiplication?

Back

An estimate is a rough calculation of a number. For example, rounding 28 to the nearest ten gives 30, which can be used to estimate the total when multiplied by another number.

What does the equation 48 ÷ n = 8 represent?

Back

This equation represents that if 48 cookies are divided equally onto 'n' plates, each plate will have 8 cookies.

How do you find the number of plates Sam uses for cookies?

Back

To find the number of plates, rearrange the equation 48 ÷ n = 8 to find n: n = 48 ÷ 8, which equals 6.

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If you multiply a number and then divide by the same number, you return to the original number.
