Which equation has an "even factor x even factor = even product" pattern?
3 x 4 = 12
4 x 2 = 8
4 x 2 = 8
If 7 x 3 = 21, what are the equations that would complete the fact family for 3, 7, and 21?
I can use the commutative property of multiplication to write the equation 3 x 7 = 21. Then I write our two division equations created by moving the multiplication problem. 21 ÷ 7 = 3 and 21 ÷ 3 = 7
Solve 7 x 6 = ________
42
A box holds 4 jars. If there are 5 boxes, how many jars are there in total?
4 x 5 = 20 jars
Which equation has an "odd factor x odd factor = odd product" pattern?
3 x 7 = 21
7 x 2 = 14
3 x 7 = 21
What are the two division equations to complete the fact family for 4 x 3 = 12 and 3 x 4 = 12?
12 ÷ 4 = 3 and 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Select the equation that is true.
5 x 7 = 40
7 x 7 = 49
7 x 7 = 49

3 x 6 = 18
18 bracelets
Which equation has an "odd factor x even factor = even product" pattern?
5 x 7 = 35
3 x 6 = 18
3 x 6 = 18
What are the two division equations to complete the fact family for 9 x 2 = 18 and 2 x 9 = 18?
18 ÷ 2 = 9 and 18 ÷ 9 = 2
What would the multiplication equation be if there are 3 groups of 5 objects?
3 x 5 = 15
Kimberly picked up 72 paperclips and shared them equally among 9 boxes. How many paperclips are there in each box?
72/9 = 8
8 paperclips per box
The numbers below follow a pattern.
1, 3, 9, ___
Which number should be next in the pattern? Explain how you solved it.
27 should be next in the pattern. I figured out that each number is begin multiplied by 3. Then, I multiplied 9 x 3 = 27.
What are the two division equations to complete the fact family for 4 x 6 = 24 and 6 x 4 = 24?
24 ÷ 6 = 4 and 24 ÷ 4 = 6
Describe a multiplication strategy you can use to solve the equation 9 x 6 = ___.
I can use a multiplication table to solve 9 x 6 = 54.
Any strategy explanation is good.
Laura has 70 coloring books. She decides to keep 7 for herself and share the rest evenly among 9 friends. How many coloring books will each friend receive?
70 - 7 = 63
63/9 = 7
7 coloring books
Would the product of the equation 5 x 8 = ___ be an even or odd number? Explain how you found your answer.
It is an even number because any multiplication problem that has an even factor will have a product that is even.
Explain how you can use multiplication to solve the equation 32 ÷ 8 = ___.
I can rewrite this as 8 x ___ = 32.
Sample explanation - We can skip count by 8 to find how many hops it takes to get to 32. I took 4 hops and landed on 32 so 32 ÷ 8 = 4.
Any strategy explanation is good.
