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

Maths

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

45 ÷ 9 = 5     Match the numbers in this equation to their correct labels.

Which of these equations is the related division fact for the multiplication equation 6 × 3 = 18?

What is the missing factor in this equation? {{ }} × 3 = 0

What is the missing dividend in this equation? {{ }} ÷ 5 = 0

True or false? If the dividend is zero, then the quotient will be zero as well. 

Tick the equations that have a solution of 0

What is the missing number in the equation below? {{ }} × 8 = 40

What is the missing number in the equation below? 8 × {{ }} = 48

What is the missing number in the equation below? 15 × {{ }} = 30

Tick the two equations that show that multiplication is commutative.

There are 4 bowls of 2 scoops of ice cream. Match the object with group size or number of groups.

Which part of a related division fact does the product become?
