Division Challenge

We have already had an entry for the division challenge!

As you can see from the pictures she has used the coffee pods to correctly divide the numbers into equal groups of coffee pods and then counted how many groups there are in total. Great work!

Here she has divided 9 into groups of 3 and found that there are 3 groups of 3 coffee pods in the number 9.

So 9 divided by 3 equals 3!

Here she has divided 16 into groups of 4 and found that there are 4 groups of 4 coffee pods in the number 16.

So 16 divided by 4 equals 4!

Here she has divided 20 into groups of 5 and found that there are 4 groups of 5 coffee pods in the number 20.

So 20 divided by 5 equals 4!

Here she has divided 12 into groups of 2 and found that there are 6 groups of 2 coffee pods in the number 12.

So 12 divided by 2 equals 6!

Multiplication Challenge

This week we have been learning about early multiplication. We know know the sign for multiplication is ‘x‘ and that it means you have to find how many ‘lots of’ or ‘ group of’ a certain number there are. To help us find the answers we have sorted objects or numicon into lots/groups.

So to work out….

3       X      4 =             OR

3  lots/groups of   4 = 

You could group the cubes into 3 lots of 4 cubes:Then you need to count how many there are altogether (to be extra quick you could count in 4s!).

So 3 lots of 4 is 12!

Now you have a go a solving the multiplication number sentences below by grouping objects at home. Don’t forget to take a picture of your work and send it into me and I will post it on the blog – sophielavender@rosendale.cc

Good luck!!

3 x 5 =

4 x 2 = 

6 x 3 = 

5 x 4 =
