Quick Warm-Up: 7 Times Table Chant

Let's chant together: 7 × 1 = 7 7 × 2 = 14, 7 × 3 = 21, 7 × 4 = 28 7 × 5 = 35, 7 × 6 = 42, 7 × 7 = 49 7 × 8 = 56, 7 × 9 = 63, 7 × 10 = 70 Now try the inverse: 42 ÷ 7 = ?

Understanding Inverse Operations

Multiplication and division are opposite operations If 7 × 6 = 42, then 42 ÷ 7 = 6 If 7 × 9 = 63, then 63 ÷ 7 = 9 We can check our multiplication by using division This relationship helps us solve problems faster
