Having explored using equivalence to calculate in addition and subtraction, this unit considers equivalence in the context of multiplication and division. Pupils explore and explain what happens when a factor in a multiplication is doubled or halved and the effect on the quotient when the dividend and divisor are scaled. The language of scaling is highlighted which prepares pupils for considering multiplication and division in the context of ratio and proportion in the future.

  1. Explain why the product stays the same when one factor is doubled and the other is halved
  2. Explain the effect on the product when scaling the factors up and down by the same amount
  3. Use knowledge of equivalence when scaling factors to solve problems
  4. Explain the effect on the quotient when scaling the dividend and the divisor by 10
  5. Explain the effect on the quotient when scaling the dividend and the divisor by the same amount
