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.

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.

How do you find the total when multiplying?

Back

To find the total when multiplying, you multiply the number of groups by the number in each group. For example, 7 groups of 12 is 7 x 12 = 84.

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If you know that 4 x 5 = 20, you can also say that 20 ÷ 5 = 4.

What is a multiplication equation?

Back

A multiplication equation shows the relationship between groups and the total. For example, 7 * x = 84 means 7 groups of 'x' equals 84.

What is a division equation?

Back

A division equation shows how a total is split into equal parts. For example, 56 ÷ n = 8 means 56 is divided into 'n' parts, each part is 8.

How do you solve for 'x' in the equation 7 * x = 84?

Back

To solve for 'x', divide both sides by 7: x = 84 ÷ 7, which gives x = 12.

What does it mean to split items evenly?

Back

To split items evenly means to divide them into equal parts so that each part has the same amount.
