Mathematics is a very logical science built on rules, principles, and relationships. Mathematical thinking is based on the sequential study of procedures first with concrete objects and then with visual models followed by abstract symbols and concepts. This systematic approach to learning allows students to grasp mathematical operations' meaning and the connection between them. Grade 3 students of Presidium learned the connection between multiplication and division in an Online Activity form.
Since these operations are inverse to each other, students subsequently strengthen and develop this knowledge through various practices. This activity examines how models and concrete material help students to explore the relationship between multiplication and division. Students learned that the inverse operation of multiplication, when divided, will form two separate and equal groups while multiplication in walls will join two similar groups.
