Model division as the inverse of multiplication for quantities less than 10.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Separate manipulatives into sets (division) followed by recombining of those sets (multiplication) to show the inverse relationship between multiplication and division.
Representation:
  • Use the following vocabulary: divide, separate, combine, multiply, etc.
  • Compare related expressions (e.g., 6 ÷ 3 = 2 is related to 2 × 3 = 6).
General Information
Number: MAFS.3.OA.2.AP.6a
Category: Access Points
Cluster: Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division. (Major Cluster) : 

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
