Multiplication and Division

Pick one to start!

Build Equal Groups

See what multiplication means

Add one counter to every group, count the total, and connect equal groups to repeated addition and a multiplication equation.

Build Multiplication Arrays

Connect rows and columns to multiplication

Build an array one column at a time, write its repeated addition, name its rows and columns, and create the multiplication equation.

Turn the Array Picture

Discover the commutative property

Write a multiplication equation for an array, turn the picture, and compare the reversed fact with the same product.

Find the Pattern

Discover patterns in the ×10 and ×11 facts

Use hundred charts or stacked addition to discover why the products in the ×10 and ×11 facts follow patterns.

Doubling and Halving Multiples of Ten

Build doubles and share halves with tens

Use tens and ones to double multiples of ten or share them equally between two groups.

Double It, Halve It

See how doubling and halving are related

Use base-ten models to double a number up to 100, then split the total in half to return to the starting number.

Fluency Path

Multiplication and Division Fluency

Follow a six-step fact-fluency path

Choose one fact family, follow the learning path from related multiplication through division fluency, then repeat with a new fact.

Related Multiplication Facts

Doubles, related, and mixed facts

Use friendlier multiplication facts to solve related facts with bar models.

Related Multiplication Facts Flashcards

Solve two connected facts on each card

Solve an easier multiplication fact first, then use it to solve a related fact on the same flashcard.

Arrays Connect Multiplication and Division

Join and separate the same array

Write a multiplication equation to join equal groups into one total, then use division to separate the same array again.

Relating Multiplication and Division

Division with related multiplication

Choose a divisor, build equal groups, and connect division to a related multiplication fact.

Related Multiplication and Division Flashcards

Connect multiplication and division facts

Solve a multiplication fact first, then use it to solve the matching division fact on the same flashcard.

Multiplication Quick Images

See groups quickly

Look quickly at numbered bar models, then tell how many there are altogether.

Split Multiplication Models

Choose and solve two easier facts

Choose stacked bar models or equal groups on one bar model, split the model, and use two smaller multiplication facts to solve the whole problem.

Multiplication and Division Flashcards

Choose a multiplication or division fact set

Practice multiplication, related multiplication, and division facts.

Multiplying by Multiples of Ten

Connect basic facts to tens

Choose models, multiples-of-ten flashcards, or paired basic-fact and tens-fact flashcards.

Partial Products Multiplication

Choose a multiplication model

Choose two-digit by one-digit or two-digit by two-digit multiplication, then cut an array into friendly parts.

Partial Quotient Division

Divide with array chunks

Outline friendly groups on a three-digit array mat, subtract each grouped part, and add the partial quotients to find the answer.

Understanding Long Division

Divide with place value

Use hundreds, tens, and ones to see how grouping, subtracting, and trading connect to each step of long division.
