Exploring Multiplication and Division Fact Triangles

The video tutorial introduces the concept of fact triangles, emphasizing their role in helping fourth-grade students become fluent in multiplication and division facts. It provides examples using specific numbers to demonstrate how to verify the correctness of fact triangles. The tutorial also covers the importance of understanding factor pairs and how they relate to multiplication.

What is the purpose of learning fact triangles?

• To learn history facts

• To enhance fluency in math facts

• To improve reading skills

• To improve drawing skills

What is the range of multiplication and division facts students should become fluent in?

• 0 through 10

• 1 through 12

• 0 through 12

• 1 through 10

What are the two factors in the first fact triangle example?

• 4 and 7

• 3 and 8

• 6 and 9

• 2 and 5

What is the product of multiplying 3 and 8 in the first example?

• 11

• 24

• 32

• 21

How do we verify a fact triangle is correct?

• By subtracting one factor from the product

• By multiplying the product by one of the factors

• By dividing the product by one of the factors

• By adding the factors

What are the two factors in the second fact triangle example?

• 4 and 8

• 5 and 10

• 2 and 7

• 3 and 9

What does the dot at the top of a fact triangle represent?

• The sum

• The quotient

• The difference

• The product

What is the product of 4 times 8 in the second example?

• 28

• 12

• 24

• 32

How do we ensure a fact triangle is 100% complete?

• By drawing the triangle correctly

• By ensuring the product is the largest number

• By verifying both division checks return the correct factors

• By checking if the factors add up to the product

What is the importance of factor pairs?

• To divide one number by another

• To find the sum of two numbers

• To identify numbers that can be multiplied to get a product

• To find the difference between two numbers
