Division as Multiplication

Division and multiplication symbols

🎯 I Can Statement

I can solve division problems by thinking about multiplication and finding missing factors.

Remember:

Division and multiplication are opposite operations. If 6 × 4 = 24, then 24 ÷ 6 = 4 and 24 ÷ 4 = 6.

Think: "What number times 6 equals 24?" The answer is 4!

📚 Part 1: Finding Missing Factors

1. Fill in the missing factor to solve each division problem:

a) 35 ÷ 7 = _____ because _____ × 7 = 35

b) 48 ÷ 6 = _____ because _____ × 6 = 48

c) 72 ÷ 9 = _____ because _____ × 9 = 72

2. Choose the correct multiplication fact that helps solve 56 ÷ 8:

8 × 6 = 48

8 × 7 = 56

8 × 8 = 64

8 × 9 = 72

3. Match each division problem with its related multiplication fact:

a) 63 ÷ 9 = _____ Think: _____ × 9 = 63

b) 45 ÷ 5 = _____ Think: _____ × 5 = 45

c) 64 ÷ 8 = _____ Think: _____ × 8 = 64

✏️ Part 2: Word Problems

4. Sarah has 42 stickers to share equally among 6 friends. How many stickers will each friend get?

Division problem: 42 ÷ 6 = _____

Think about multiplication: What number times 6 equals 42? _____ × 6 = 42

Answer: Each friend gets _____ stickers.

5. A bakery packed 84 cookies into boxes. Each box holds 12 cookies. How many boxes did they use?
6. Explain in your own words: How does knowing that 7 × 8 = 56 help you solve 56 ÷ 7?

🌟 Extension Challenge

7. Advanced Learners: Create your own word problem that uses the fact that 9 × 12 = 108.
