Composed of three word problems, this math activity exposes young mathematicians to relationships present in multiplication and division. The first problem is most useful with a tape diagram in which learners are working with equal-sized groups in multiplication. The second and third problems involve division and allow pupils to use repeated subtraction and partitive division. The activity is great practice for solving word problems and discovering the relationships between multiplication and division.
