What happens when you multiply a

number by 1 ?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Can you write down the answers to these questions very quickly?

8. 76 × 1 ……… 9. 35 × 1 ………

10. 1 × 34 ……… 11. 1 × 724 ……… 12. 5 × 1 × 9 ………

What happens when you multiply a number by 0 ?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

13. 52 × 0 ……… 14. 98 × 0 ……… 15. 0 × 52 ………

16. 76 × 0 ……… 17. 9 × 0 × 25 ………

18. 94 × 24 × 87 × 62 × 0 ……… 19. 76 × 0 × 58 ………

Now here's a tricky one!

What happens if you multiply 89 by 12

and then divide the answer by 12 ?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

How quickly can you work out these questions?

1. 67 × 13 ÷ 13 ……… 2. 95 × 34 ÷ 34 ……… 3. 62 × 16 ÷ 16 ………

Is the same true if we divide first and then multiply? …………

4. 45 ÷ 9 × 9 ……… 5. 72 ÷ 12 × 12 ……… 6. 450 ÷ 50 × 50 ………

We can use this idea to check our multiplication answers, like this:

45 × 7 = 315. Check by dividing 315 by 7: 315 ÷ 7 = 45 Yippee!

Work out these answers and check them by dividing.

7. 23 × 3 ……………… 8. 32 × 7 ………………

9. 24 × 9 ……………… 10. 50 × 8 ………………

11. 72 × 2 ……………… 12. 16 × 5 ………………

13. 23 × 6 ……………… 14. 26 × 4 ………………

Say how you would do these calculations and then do them:

15. Double 46 …………………………………………………………………….

16. 12 times 7 ………………………………………………………………

17. 16 times 100 …………………………………………………………………….
