A factor is a whole number which divides exactly into another whole number.

A product is the result of two or more numbers being multiplied.

In addition and multiplication, numbers may be added or multiplied together in any order. This is called commutativity.

Explain what each factor represents in a multiplication equation

Maths

Explain how each part of a multiplication and division equation relates to a story

Explain where zero can be part of a multiplication or division expression and the impact it has

Partition one of the factors in a multiplication equation using representations

Explain which is the most efficient factor to partition to solve a multiplication problem

In this unit pupils will explain how each part of a multiplication and division equation relates to a story. They will partition one of the factors in a multiplication equation in different ways using representations. In the future unit pupils will use knowledge of distributive law to calculate products beyond known times tables facts.

In the prior unit pupils represented counting in sevens as the 7x table. They also explored odd and even patterns in times tables and identified square numbers. In this unit pupils will explain how each part of a multiplication and division equation relates to a story. They will partition one of the factors in a multiplication equation in different ways using representations.

Understand and represent multiplicative structures

The dividend is the number being divided.

The divisor is a number that will divide exactly.

The quotient is the results of the dividend being divided by the divisor.

The divisor is a number that will divide the dividend exactly.

The quotient is the result of the dividend being divided by the divisor.

The act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.

The distributive law says that multiplying a number by a group of numbers added together is the same as doing each multiplication separately.

Next to each other. In this lesson, it’s used to refer to multiples that are next to one another.

A multiple is the product of a number and an integer.

Partitioning is the act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.
