Description

This teaching resource is designed to help 4th Grade students learn about inverse operations. It uses a combination of supporting PowerPoint slides, differentiated worksheets, and problem-solving activities to provide a firm grounding in inverse operations and help students develop multiplicative reasoning. The slides explain to students how to solve missing number problems, recognise division calculations and solve division problems, as well as introducing key algebra terms.

Students can use the non-statutory guidance section to check calculations, and they can answer the division questions to see if they can mentally calculate the inverse operations. The worksheets and slides provide examples of multiplication and corresponding division facts to help the students understand the concept, and there are word problems to challenge more advanced learners.

Using this lesson will make lesson planning easier for teachers as it covers the curriculum objectives for 4th Grade math - Number - addition and subtraction - as outlined in the White Rose small steps guidance for 4th Grade. It is easy to follow and provides a range of activities and questions to introduce the topic of inverse operations and support children to develop a really firm grounding in the same process and understand the inverse relationship between addition and division.

There are differentiated resource sheets, allowing all children to explore the same topic, while the PowerPoint slides introduce scale drawings and use of the number line. The word problems help students to move on to solving more advanced learning tasks, further developing their multiplicative reasoning.
