Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3× table

The ArithmeKit 3.14 from CanDoMaths by Buzzard Publishing is an educational resource designed to help students recall and use multiplication and division facts related to the 3 times table. The exercises encourage learners to find matching pairs, such as linking '9 × 3' with '27' and '18 ÷ 3' with '6', to reinforce their understanding of these fundamental arithmetic operations. Additionally, students are prompted to fill in the gaps in sequences with multiples of 3, helping them recognise patterns and consolidate their knowledge of the 3 times table. The activity also invites students to create their own matching pairs problems, further engaging them in the learning process.

In another section of the ArithmeKit, students are challenged to solve problems involving negative numbers and to use the digits 0 through 9 to complete mathematical statements accurately. For example, they must figure out which digit, when multiplied by 3, equals 18, or which two digits, when divided, equal 3. This section also addresses misconceptions and prompts critical thinking through questions such as whether an even number multiplied by 3 always results in an even number. Through practical examples and problem-solving, students are encouraged to explore and understand the properties of multiplication and division within the 3 times table.
