A comprehensive math course designed for third grade students to build foundational skills in numbers, operations, geometry, and data analysis.
Multiplication is a shortcut for adding the same number over and over. For instance, \( 4 \times 3 \) means 4 groups of 3, which equals 12.
Division is the opposite of multiplication. It means splitting something into equal groups. If you have 15 cookies and 3 friends, each friend gets \( 15 \div 3 = 5 \) cookies.
You can use pictures (arrays) or objects to help you multiply and divide. Arrays are rows and columns that show how multiplication and division work.
Multiplication and division help you solve problems like figuring out packs of stickers, sharing snacks, or planning a party!
Calculate \( 6 \times 4 \) using an array.
Divide 24 marbles among 6 friends.
Multiplication is fast adding, and division is sharing into equal groups.
