Multiplication and division - Assessment

In an assessment focused on multiplication and division, students are presented with a variety of problems to solve. The first scenario describes a shop with 40 apples that are divided into 8 equal groups, prompting students to calculate the number of apples per group. Another task involves using an array to complete number sentences that help students understand the relationship between multiplication and division. For example, they are asked to determine the products of 7 multiplied by 3 and 7 multiplied by 30, with the answers being 21 and 210 respectively.

Further exercises test the students' ability to perform calculations with tens and ones. They are asked to multiply 12 by 4, yielding an answer of 48. Another problem challenges them to calculate the total number of sweets in 3 jars, each containing 26 sweets, which requires them to multiply 26 by 3 to find the total of 78 sweets. The assessment includes a variety of other problems, such as division questions like 84 divided by 3, and more complex multiplication scenarios, such as working out 43 multiplied by 5. Students are also asked to correct a miscalculation where the number 606 is incorrectly given as the product of 22 times 3. The correct placement of digits is emphasised, with the answer being 66, not 606. The assessment concludes with real-world applications, such as determining the total number of cubes in a box when given the quantity of green cubes and the ratio of red to green cubes.
