GET Strategy for Multiplication and Division Mastery

The video tutorial introduces the GET strategy, a method to determine whether a word problem requires multiplication or division. The strategy uses the letters G, E, and T to represent the number of groups, the number of objects in each group, and the total number of objects, respectively. The tutorial explains how to apply this strategy to solve multiplication problems by identifying the groups and objects in each group to find the total. It also covers division problems, where the total is given, and the task is to find either the number of groups or the number of objects in each group. The video emphasizes the concept of equal groups in both operations.

What does the 'G' in the GET strategy represent?

• The total number of objects

• The number of groups mentioned in the problem

• The number of objects in each group

• The method to solve the problem

What does the 'E' in the GET strategy stand for?

• The total number of objects

• The number of objects in each group

• The division of groups

• The number of groups

In the context of the GET strategy, what does 'T' signify?

• The method of calculation

• The number of objects in each group

• The number of groups

• The total number of objects

When using the GET strategy for multiplication, what are you typically asked to find?

• The method of division

• The total number of objects

• The number of objects in each group

• The number of groups

What is the first step in solving a division problem using the GET strategy?

• Identify the number of groups

• Calculate the number of objects in each group

• Determine the total number of objects

• None of the above

How is the GET strategy used in division problems?

• To find the total by multiplying groups and objects in each group

• To subtract the number of objects from the total

• To divide the total by the number of groups to find objects per group

• To add the number of groups

If a problem provides the total and the number of groups, what operation does the GET strategy suggest?

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Division

According to the GET strategy, what indicates the use of division in a problem?

• When the problem asks for the total

• When the problem provides the total and asks for the number of groups or objects per group

• When the problem only provides the number of groups

• When the problem provides the number of objects per group only

What common element do multiplication and division share according to the GET strategy?

• They both use unequal groups

• They do not share any common elements

• They both involve subtraction

• They both deal with equal groups

What does the GET strategy help students decide?

• How to add numbers

• How to find the difference between two numbers

• Whether to use multiplication or division

• How to subtract numbers
