About Multiplication and Division Word Problems

GoConqr Original

Start with multiplication

Begin with the multiplication quiz about football games played over a season. It asks pupils to use the number of games in a month and the length of the season to work out a total. Another multiplication quiz uses money saved from washing cars, with an explanation of how to find the value of the quarters.

For more practice, the multiplication flashcards about boxes ask pupils to find totals for items such as eggs and cookies. Read each question, identify the equal groups, and work out the total before checking your response.

Explore division

The division quiz about hours and minutes offers a starting point for thinking about how one quantity relates to another. Its explanation shows how to use the number of minutes in an hour to find a number of hours.

Pre-Test on Division includes questions about quotients, time and a jogger's running minutes. Pupils can use it to practice both calculations and reading a situation carefully. If a question feels difficult, identify what the problem asks for and what information it gives before choosing a calculation.

Use a map with a quiz

The multiplication problem-types mind map sets out examples of equal groups and rates. Look at an example on the map, then try a quiz question that uses a similar idea. Afterward, return to the map and explain how the quantities in the question fit together.

The flashcards on choosing whether to multiply or divide offer another way to practice that decision. Try saying why an operation fits before calculating the answer.

Continue through the unit

This topic is one section of the Multiplication and Division unit in Mathematics. The resources bring calculation and problem reading together: pupils can use a map to think about the situation, then apply that thinking in a quiz or flashcard question.
