Unit 4: Relating Multiplication to Division
By My Teaching Library
This unit introduces students to the concept of division and its relationship to multiplication. Previously, students learned that multiplication can be understood in terms of equal-size groups. The expression 5 x 2 can represent the total number of objects when there are 5 groups of 2 objects, or when there are 2 groups of 5 objects. Here, students make sense of division also in terms of equal-size groups. For instance, the expression 30 ÷ 5 can represent putting 30 objects into 5 equal groups or putting 30 objects into groups of 5. They see that, in general, dividing can mean finding the size of each group, or finding the number of equal groups. Students use the relationship between multiplication and division to develop fluency with single-digit multiplication and division facts. This resource includes both student and teacher materials. Number of Lessons: 21 and 1 optional Lesson Time: Approximately 60 minutes. Please note that each lesson is designed for one instructional block and may be divided into shorter or longer segments based on teacher pacing and student needs. Watch short product preview video
