Equivalent Number Sentences Tasks

Mathematical equations and inverse operations illustration

📚 Task 1: Basic Inverse Operations

1. Find the missing number using inverse operations:

a) 6 × _____ = 42

b) _____ ÷ 8 = 9

c) 5 × 7 = _____ ÷ 2

2. Complete these equivalent number sentences:

a) 48 ÷ 6 = 8, so 8 × 6 = _____

b) 9 × 4 = 36, so 36 ÷ _____ = 9

3. Circle the correct inverse operation:

If 7 × 8 = 56, then:

56 ÷ 7 = 8

56 + 7 = 8

56 - 7 = 8

✏️ Task 2: Rearranging Number Sentences

4. Rearrange to find the missing value, then verify your answer:

a) 12 × n = 84

Verification: _____ × _____ = _____

5. Create two equivalent number sentences for each:

a) 63 ÷ 7 = 9

b) 8 × 12 = 96

6. Find the value of x and show your working:

144 ÷ x = 16

🧠 Task 3: Advanced Problems & Newman Extension

7. Multi-step problem:

If 15 × a = 225 and b ÷ 5 = a, find the value of b. Show all working and explain your reasoning.

8. Error Analysis (Newman Extension):

Sarah solved: 168 ÷ n = 12

Her working: n = 168 + 12 = 180

a) Identify and explain Sarah's error:

b) Show the correct solution:

9. Challenge Problem (Newman Extension):

Create a real-world problem that can be solved using the number sentence: 72 ÷ x = 8. Then solve it using inverse operations and explain why your method works.
