Multiplication and division symbols: Is it a fact?
I will have two spare cubes if I put 32
cubes into rows of four.
These facts are all part of one ‘family’
12 x 3 = 36, 3 x 12 = 36, 36 ÷ 3 = 12
36 ÷ 12 = 3
3 x 3 > 2 x 4
18 ÷ 3 = 6 and 6 ÷ 3 = 2
I know that 8 x 2 = 2 x 8 because this
shows an inverse relationship.
25 ÷ 1 = 1
5 x 4 = 10 x 2 = 20 x 1
2 x 4 = 8 x 3 = 24
I will have no cubes left over if put 25
into six equal groups.
I know that there are 13 single ones in
13, so 13 ÷ 1 = 13
25 x 4 = 4 x 25
Six and four are both factors of thirty.
