Relate multiplication and division for groups

Key Notes :

💡 You can describe equal groups using multiplication and division number sentences.

Learn with an example

💡 Fill in the blank so that the multiplication and division number sentences both describe the model.

  • 2×3=6
  • 6÷2=____
  • Multiplication number sentence
  • The multiplication number sentence 2×3=6 describes the model.
  • The model has 2 groups of 3 dots. There are 6 dots in all.
  • Division number sentence
    A division number sentence can also describe the model.
    6÷2=?
  • The 6 dots are divided into 2 equal groups.
  • There are 3 dots in each group.
  • A division number sentence that describes the model is:
  • Relate the multiplication and division number sentences
  • The multiplication and division number sentences describe the same model. So, the same numbers appear in both sentences.

💡 Fill in the blank so that the multiplication and division number sentences both describe the model.

  • 3×3=9
  • 9÷3=___
  • Multiplication number sentence
  • The multiplication number sentence 3×3=9 describes the model.
  • The model has 3 groups of 3 dots. There are 9 dots in all.
  • Division number sentence
    A division number sentence can also describe the model. 9÷3=?
  • The 9 dots are divided into 3 equal groups.
  • There are 3 dots in each group.
  • A division number sentence that describes the model is:
  • Relate the multiplication and division number sentences
  • The multiplication and division number sentences describe the same model. So, the same numbers appear in both sentences.

💡 Fill in the blank so that the multiplication and division number sentences both describe the model.

  • 2×2=4
  • 4÷2=___
  • Multiplication number sentence
  • The multiplication number sentence 2×2=4 describes the model.
  • The model has 2 groups of 2 dots. There are 4 dots in all.
  • Division number sentence
  • A division number sentence can also describe the model.
    4÷2= ?
  • The 4 dots are divided into 2 equal groups.
  • There are 2 dots in each group.
  • A division number sentence that describes the model is:
  • Relate the multiplication and division number sentences
  • The multiplication and division number sentences describe the same model. So, the same numbers appear in both sentences.
