Multiplication and Division - Assessment (1)

The 'Multiplication and Division' assessment for Year 4 students involves a variety of tasks to test their understanding of these mathematical operations. One of the tasks requires students to complete a bar model to represent the equation 6 × 4, where they have to fill in the correct numbers to show the multiplication visually. In another activity, students are asked to match statements to the correct bar model, which depicts quantities of pencils in boxes, ensuring they understand the practical applications of multiplication. Furthermore, they must complete a fact family to represent the given pieces, demonstrating their ability to form related multiplication and division equations from a set of numbers.

Students are also challenged to use a number line to assist in calculations, such as finding the product of 8 × 40, and are tasked with completing calculations like 8 × 400 and 140 ÷ 2, which require both multiplication and division skills. In a real-world scenario, they calculate how many more stickers are needed to complete a sticker book, applying their division knowledge. Additionally, they must determine the number of counters in an array where part of it is covered, requiring them to infer the total based on visible patterns. Lastly, students are presented with a problem involving the purchase of bags and mugs, where they need to work out the number of mugs bought given the total cost and the number of bags, honing their skills in practical application of multiplication and division in everyday contexts.
