In this activity, we will be using number lines to solve division and multiplication problems.
We can count along a number line in equal jumps, to find out a multiplication or division fact.
This number line will help us to count up to 24 in jumps of 4.
How many hops are needed to reach 24?
Jumping along the number line, we would land on 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and finally 24, which make 6 jumps.
We could write four facts to match this counting.
4 × 6 = 24
6 × 4 = 24
24 ÷ 4 = 6
24 ÷ 6 = 4
Let's try an example together.
Example
This number line will help us to count up to 25 in jumps of 5.
How many hops are needed to reach 25?
Answer
Jumping along the number line, we would land on 5, 10, 15, 20 and finally 25, which make 5 jumps.
Now it's your turn to try some questions. Good luck!
