Multiplication and Division - Assessment (3)

In a comprehensive set of assessment questions on multiplication and division, students are tasked with solving various problems that test their understanding and application of these mathematical operations. One of the questions involves Rosie and Zach, who each have a certain number of counters. The students are asked to write down a multiplication equation to calculate the number of counters each child has and then determine the total number of counters combined. In another task, Malachi is multiplying 47 by 4 using place value counters, and students must calculate the total amount and demonstrate their working out, ensuring they understand the concept of place value in multiplication.

Further challenges include real-world scenarios such as Tina, who has £2,000 and spends a portion of it on paintings. The question requires students to work out how much money Tina has left after her purchase, reinforcing the practical application of multiplication in financial contexts. Additionally, students are presented with a problem involving the purchase of small and large bags of sweets, where they must calculate the total number of sweets bought. This assessment not only tests students' multiplication and division skills but also encourages them to show their working out, explain their methods, and reflect on their confidence level with these operations. To complete the assessment successfully, students must apply their knowledge of multiplication, place value, and scaling to solve problems accurately.
