Multiplication and Division (Year 3)

Multiplication and division are key KS2 Maths skills. They help us solve everyday problems, like sharing sweets or working out the total cost of items quickly.

(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Sharing 12 sweets fairly between 4 friends is a division problem, as each friend gets 3.

In KS2 Maths, multiplication and division are taught as inverse operations. Pupils learn to use times tables, divide larger numbers, and apply these skills in real-life problem solving.

Key Terms

  • Multiplication: A quicker way of adding the same number several times.
  • Division: Splitting a number into equal groups or parts.
  • Inverse: An opposite operation, like division undoing multiplication.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you explain multiplication to KS2 children?

Multiplication means adding the same number again and again. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 added 4 times, which equals 12.

What is the link between multiplication and division?

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If 4 × 5 = 20, then 20 ÷ 5 = 4. They undo each other.

Why is learning times tables important?

Times tables make calculations faster and easier. They are the foundation for solving bigger maths problems, including fractions and division.
