Students understand that multiplication is used to make even groups and is a way of adding those groups together (e.g., If there are 3 groups with 4 students in each group, there are 4+4+4= 3X4 =12 students all together).
Students understand that division is sharing a quantity evenly (e.g., If 4 children want to share 16 pieces of Chanukah gelt, each child receives 16÷4 = 4 pieces of gelt).
Students understand that division and multiplication are reciprocal functions (e.g., 7×3= 21 or 3×7 =21).
Students understand that fractions and division are related (e.g., ¼ of 24 is the same as 24÷4).
