Teaching guide

What students learn

Recognise and explain how multiplication and division undo each other and use this to build families of number facts.

4 rows of 3 makes 4 x 3 = 12
How to teach it

Show that three numbers make four related facts (two + and two -, or two ร— and two รท) using a part-part-whole diagram or a triangle card.

Worked example
Write the fact family for 3, 2 and 6:
Answer: 3ร—2=6, 2ร—3=6, 6รท3=2, 6รท2=3

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Not seeing subtraction/division as the inverse, so children re-count instead of using the known addition/multiplication fact.
