Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 12x table

ArithmeKit exercises are designed to help students become proficient with the 12 times table, a fundamental aspect of their mathematical education. The kit includes various activities that encourage students to recall and use multiplication and division facts related to the 12 times table. One of the exercises involves finding matching pairs, where students must match multiplication or division statements with their correct answers. For instance, they would pair '144 ÷ 12' with '12' and '4 × 12' with '48'. This activity not only tests their recall of the 12 times table but also their understanding of the relationship between multiplication and division.

The ArithmeKit also challenges students to build the first five multiples of 12 using Base 10 resources, which helps them visualise the incremental growth of multiples. In another engaging task, students are asked to fill in missing digits to complete true statements involving the 12 times table. This could include filling in the blanks to make equations like '12 × _ = 60' or '108 ÷ _ = 12' correct, using each of the digits 0-9 exactly once to ensure all statements are true. The kit even includes a scenario where students must convince a character, Colin, of the equivalence of different division and multiplication statements, such as proving that '72 ÷ 12 = 36 ÷ 6' and '12 × 4 = 6 × 8'. These exercises are essential for reinforcing the students' understanding of multiplication and division, and for developing their problem-solving skills.
