Math Facts and Patterns

What Are Math Facts?

Math facts are simple multiplication and division problems you should know quickly, like \(2 \times 3 = 6\) or \(15 \div 5 = 3\).

Patterns in Multiplication and Division

Learning patterns can make math easier!

  • Commutative Property: \(3 \times 4 = 4 \times 3\)
  • Division and Multiplication are Related: If \(5 \times 6 = 30\), then \(30 \div 5 = 6\) and \(30 \div 6 = 5\).
  • Zero and One: Any number times 0 is 0; any number times 1 is itself.

Why Know Math Facts?

Quick recall helps you solve bigger problems faster and with more confidence.

Examples

  • Knowing \(7 \times 8 = 56\) helps you solve \(56 \div 8 = 7\) quickly.

  • Multiplying by 0, like \(0 \times 9 = 0\), is always zero.

In a Nutshell

Math facts and patterns help make multiplication and division much easier and faster.
