Maths Quiz - Multiplication and Division (Year 6) (Questions)

In KS2 Maths, you'll have loads of fun with multiplication and division! By Year Six, you'll be a times tables champ and a pro at basic multiplication and division. You'll also get to know cool words like 'multiple', 'factor', and 'product'.

Multiplication and division are super cool because they involve remainders – the bits left over. You'll learn to turn leftovers (remainders) into fractions and decimals. Imagine having 4 cats and 10 treats – you give each cat 2 treats, and you're left with 2 treats! Let's turn that into maths magic: 10 ÷ 4 = 2 r2 or 2.5 or 21⁄2. Now, test your awesome skills with a fun quiz about multiplication and division!

1. Which gives the answer 91?
[ ] (6 + 5) x (8 - 3) + 6 =
[ ] (6 + 5 x 8) - (3 + 6) =
[ ] 6 + 5 x (8 - 3) + 6 =
[x] (6 + 5) x 8 - 3 + 6 =
Work out the calculations in brackets first
2. How could we find an eighth of a number?
[ ] Multiply it by 4
[ ] Multiply it by 8
[x] Divide it by 8
[ ] Divide it by 4
An eighth of a number is the same as saying divide it by 8
3. On a calculator the answer to a division question is 5.25. What fraction is the remainder?
[ ] Half
[x] Quarter
[ ] Third
[ ] Eighth
0.25 is the decimal equivalent of 1⁄4
4. What is the best method of multiplying 72 by 15?
[ ] Multiply by 10 then halve
[x] Multiply by 10, halve the result, then add the two parts together
[ ] Multiply by 10, divide by 5, then add the two numbers
[ ] Divide by 10 then double
72 x 10 = 720; half of 720 = 360, so 720 + 360 = 1,080
5. Which strategy would be best to multiply 53 by 25?
[ ] Multiply by 100 then double
[ ] Multiply by 4 then 100
[x] Multiply by 100 then divide by 4
[ ] Divide by 4 then double
Just as 0.25 is 1⁄4 of 1, 25 is 1⁄4 of 100
6. Which of these methods would result in finding 1⁄12?
[x] Half one third twice
[ ] Half one quarter twice
[ ] Double one quarter twice
[ ] Double one sixth
e.g. 1⁄12 of 66. One third is 22, half of 22 is 11, half of 11 is 5.5
7. What is the best method of multiplying 81 by 99?
[x] Multiply by 100 then subtract 81
[ ] Multiply by 10 then add 81
[ ] Multiply by 100 then add 81
[ ] Multiply by 10 then subtract 81
Multiplying by 100 is much easier than multiplying by 99
8. Which strategy would be best to multiply 93 by 101?
[ ] Multiply by 10 then add 93
[x] Multiply by 100 then add 93
[ ] Multiply by 100 then subtract 93
[ ] Multiply by 10 then subtract 93
You can use this strategy for other numbers over 100, for example to multiply a number by 107 multiply by 100 and also by 7 then add the 2 results together
9. 2.43 x 10 = ?
[ ] 2.430
[x] 24.3
[ ] 243
[ ] 0.243
To multiply a number by 10 move the digits 1 place to the left
10. 5.87 x 100 = ?
[x] 587
[ ] 5,870
[ ] 0.587
[ ] 0.0587
To multiply a number by 100 move the digits 2 places to the left
