Students will demonstrate understanding of multiplication up to 5 × 5 and the corresponding division. This includes representing and explaining multiplication using repeated addition, equal groups, and arrays. Students will create and solve word problems using multiplication and division. They will model these processes using concrete, visual, and symbolic representations and understand the relationship between multiplication and division.

1. N3.3 Demonstrate understanding of multiplication to 5 × 5 and the corresponding division statements including:
representing and explaining using repeated addition or subtraction, equal grouping, and arrays
creating and solving situational questions
modeling processes using concrete, physical, and visual representations, and recording the process symbolically
relating multiplication and division.
What might the missing numbers be?
Product Heading
? X ? = 12
How could you prove it using division?
Students can represent the product of 12 in an
array. This array shows 4 rows of 3 or 4x3=12.
Students proved using division. When placing 12
into four equal groups you will have three in each
group.
The order can be switched around and have
3x4=12. Three equal groups of four.
These three numbers
are also related.
