The relationship between multiplication and division
We can use an array to think about multiplication and division. Talk to your partner about how you can use the array to show that: 4 × 6 = 24 24 ÷ 6 = 4
6 × 4 = 24
24 ÷ 4 = 6
Riana has some 10 cent coins. Uncle gives her more 10 cent coins so she now has double the amount of money.
Use coins to act out what happens with Riana’s money. Find different ways to make the story true. What do you notice about the amount of money Riana had at the start of the story and the amount of money she has at the end of the story? Can you explain why?
