Interpreting Division with Fact Families

The video tutorial explains the relationship between multiplication and division through the concept of fact families. It introduces fact families as groups of four math problems that use the same three numbers, demonstrating how knowing one fact can help solve others. The tutorial highlights common mistakes in division, such as incorrect number arrangement, and emphasizes the importance of using the largest number first in division equations. It provides examples and a word problem to illustrate how fact families can be used to solve division problems effectively.

If you know the multiplication fact 8 x 2 = 16, how does this help in division?

• It helps to find 16 / 2 = 8

• It helps to find 2 / 8 = 16

• It is unrelated to division

• It helps to find 8 / 16 = 2

What is a fact family in mathematics?

• A set of geometry theorems

• A collection of unrelated math problems

• A group of four related multiplication and division problems

• A set of addition and subtraction problems

What does a fact family consist of?

• Two addition and two subtraction problems

• Two multiplication and two division problems

• Four multiplication problems

• Four division problems

In the fact family of 3, 6, and 18, which is a correct division fact?

• 18 / 3 = 6

• 3 / 18 = 6

• 18 / 6 = 3

• 6 / 18 = 3

Why must the larger number be written first in a division equation within a fact family?

• To ensure the division is possible

• To find the smaller number

• To make the equation true

• To simplify the calculation

What is the purpose of arranging numbers correctly in a division fact family?

• To follow mathematical rules

• To ensure the division is accurate

• To confuse the learners

• To make the equation look simpler

Which of the following is a correct division fact for the numbers 2, 3, and 6?

• 6 / 2 = 3
