Max Maths, Year 3, Try it, Division and multiplication (1)

In this Year 3 mathematics exercise, students are encouraged to practice their multiplication and division skills using a multiplication table as a reference. The table provided lists the products of numbers 1 through 10 when multiplied by numbers 1 through 5. The task is to complete a series of number sentences using this table, reinforcing the relationship between multiplication and division.

Students are presented with partially filled multiplication and division sentences and must use their understanding of times tables to fill in the blanks. For example, they are given "6 × 3 =" and must write the answer, as well as find the missing number in "6 × _ = 24". The exercise also includes division problems such as "÷ 6 = 3", where students need to determine the dividend. The activity is designed to help children recognise that multiplication and division are inverse operations and to become fluent in the use of these fundamental mathematical concepts. Questions are structured to cover different multiplication facts and to provide practice in identifying the corresponding division facts, thus building a solid foundation for future mathematical learning.
