Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 4× table

The ArithmeKit 3.15 is an engaging resource designed to help students in recalling and applying multiplication and division facts for the 4 times table. The exercises include a variety of tasks such as finding matching pairs, where students must match multiplication or division statements to their correct answers. For example, they would pair '40 ÷ 4' with '10' or '4 × 6' with '24'. The activity encourages students to think critically by asking them to identify what's missing in a given sequence or to create their own matching pairs problems. Additional challenges prompt students to calculate a series of multiplications, such as '4 × 1', '6 × 4', and '10 × 4', reinforcing their understanding of the 4 times table through repetition and practice.

In a separate task, students are presented with a statement from Colin that suggests a relationship between multiples of 4 and multiples of 2. They are asked to consider if they agree or disagree with the claim that while all multiples of 4 are also multiples of 2, the converse is not necessarily true. To deepen their understanding, students are tasked with using digits 0-9 to complete division and multiplication problems, ensuring that each digit is used only once across all statements. This activity not only solidifies their grasp of the 4 times table but also introduces them to the concept of even and odd numbers, as they must demonstrate why products of the 4 times table cannot be odd. The resource is comprehensive, providing both straightforward calculations and thought-provoking problems to cater to different learning styles and abilities.
