Fascinating Fact:

A single sunflower can produce up to two thousand seeds, each capable of becoming another plant, multiplication at work in nature.

In 11 Plus Maths, multiplication and division are key to solving practical and theoretical problems. From scaling recipes to understanding ratios and averages, these skills underpin many everyday calculations.

Key Terms

Ratio: A way of comparing quantities to show how much of one thing there is compared with another.
Multiple: A number that can be divided exactly by another number without leaving a remainder.
Inverse: An operation that reverses the effect of another, like division reversing multiplication.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How does multiplication show up in real life?

Multiplication is used to calculate totals quickly, such as the cost of several items, or the number of objects in repeated patterns.

Why are multiplication and division called inverse operations?

They are called inverse because one undoes the other. Dividing a number by a value reverses the result of multiplying it by that same value.

How can I use ratios when dividing numbers?

Ratios allow you to divide numbers into parts that keep a specific relationship, such as sharing sweets between friends in equal or fixed proportions.
