🎯 Part 1: Understanding Inverse Operations

1. Complete each multiplication fact, then write its inverse division fact:

a) 7 × 8 = _____ so 56 ÷ 7 = _____

b) 9 × 6 = _____ so _____ ÷ 9 = 6

c) 12 × 5 = _____ so 60 ÷ _____ = 5

d) 8 × 11 = _____ so _____ ÷ 8 = _____

2. Circle the correct division fact that matches each multiplication:

6 × 7 = 42

42 ÷ 6 = 7

42 ÷ 8 = 6

48 ÷ 6 = 8

9 × 4 = 36

36 ÷ 6 = 6

36 ÷ 4 = 9

32 ÷ 4 = 8

3. Explain in your own words what "inverse operations" means:

🔢 Part 2: Missing Number Problems

4. Use your knowledge of inverse operations to find the missing numbers:

a) _____ × 8 = 72

b) 63 ÷ _____ = 9

c) 11 × _____ = 132

d) _____ ÷ 6 = 7

5. Word problem: Sarah has 84 stickers arranged equally in 12 rows. How many stickers are in each row? Write both a division and multiplication fact to solve this problem.
6. Extension Challenge: I think of a number, multiply it by 7, then divide by 14. The result is 3. What was my original number?

⚡ Part 3: Quick Fluency Check

7. Complete these fact families as quickly as you can:

a) 6 × 9 = _____ and 54 ÷ 6 = _____

b) 8 × 7 = _____ and _____ ÷ 7 = 8

c) _____ × 12 = 96 and 96 ÷ 8 = _____

8. Check all the division facts that are correct inverses for 5 × 11 = 55:

55 ÷ 5 = 11

55 ÷ 11 = 5

50 ÷ 5 = 10

55 ÷ 1 = 55

9. Create your own fact family using the number 48:
