Red and yellow do not make orange in this activity, but they do create a real-life, multiplication of fractions word problem. As either a lead-in or an assessment, math masters display their understanding of 1/2 x 5/6 when a wall...

The 28-page resource contains cards with terms relating to multiplication from inverse operations to front-end estimation to array. Each sheet contains two cards; one with the word and one with the definition.

Sixth and seventh graders solve and complete 8 different types of problems. First, they multiply and divide by signed numbers. Then, they rewrite any division as multiplication by the reciprocal. Pupils also work out the absolute value...

Practice rounding numbers to a certain decimal by solving in-class problems. Learners will solve several multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction problems while rounding to a specific decimal. They will also check their work...

Your third graders might know how to solve multiplication problems with multiples of nine - but what if the problems are written out? Four sections of multiplication problems prompt learners to interpret the way each problem is written...

How many visual models can be used to show multiplication? Three basic kinds of models can be used to represent and explain the equation 4 x (9 + 2).  The commentary section provides description and graphics to explain the set...

Plants never grow at the same rate, and that is the antithesis for this word problem involving multiplication of fractions. On the learning exercise, Raul notices that Pablo's seedlings are 1 1/2 times as tall, and Celina's seedlings are...

The five-page packet includes words particularly associated with multiplication. Each sheet has two cards on it; one with the word printed in bold text and another with the definition and example of the word

Divide fractions just like a model does. Pupils visualize the division of a fraction by a whole number by creating models. Scholars make the connection between dividing by a whole number and multiplication before practicing the skill...

Build spreadsheet skills while investigating decimal multiplication. An open-ended task asks learners to edit a spreadsheet to create a multiplication table for decimals. Provided with a specific interval, pupils create formulas...

Examine how addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division relate to and are separate from each other. As they listen to the book, The Doorbell Rang, they demonstrate the math described in the story by cutting up paper cookies...

On a three-page assignment, number crunchers will examine the laws of exponents and apply them to a variety of problems. They write expressions in exponential form or as repeated multiplication. They evaluate and simplify exponential...

Explore multiplication and division using real life problems, including how to find the cost of soap per bar. Individuals or small groups work to find answers. They then share with the class how they found their answer.

Here is a code-breaker multiplication and division game which has learners find the missing letter in equations, then solve and use those letters to "break the code," which actually is the answer to a riddle. Make math fun with a...

Here's a way to create math fact flash cards! Learners create their own cards and sort them into matching categories. Learners start with addition and work their way up to harder math such as multiplication, and are asked to notice...
