If you have 4 bags and each bag has 3 apples, how many apples do you have in total?
How could you solve this using addition?
Multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition.
Instead of adding the same number over and over, we can multiply!
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
is the same as...
4 x 3 = 12

Division means sharing fairly or splitting into equal groups.
If we have 12 apples and want to make 4 equal groups, how many apples are in each group?
12 ÷ 4 = 3
Dividend
(The total)
Divisor
(# of groups)
Quotient
(The answer)
Multiplication and Division are inverse operations.
This is why we have "Fact Families" that use the same three numbers.
Problem: 35 ÷ 5 = ?
1. Think: "What number times 5 equals 35?"
? x 5 = 35
2. Answer:
We know that 7 x 5 = 35, so the answer is 7.
Solve the following problems:
8 x 6 = ?
