FREE MATH LESSON – “MULTIPLICATION / DIVISION Fact Sorts Double Halve Strategy & Relationships”


by Math Viking
3rd – 4th Grade


For Third and Fourth Grade Math Centers and Multi level activity! Math is ALWAYS about the questioning! Take time to ask students what they notice about the factor pairs in their sort. Ask why they think those particular products were grouped in the same sort. Ask them to find a pair of facts where one factor is double and one factor is half of the other factor pair. (Like 7 X 4 and 14 x 2) Ask them to find pairs that are 3 times greater and 3 times less. (Like 9×4 and 3×12) Are there other relationships? Find 2 different relationships. Now write YOUR OWN examples. etc… 🙂

*6 Templates (consider using also in wipe of sleeves with student generated equations)

*5 Basic Multiplication Sorts

*1 Higher Level Sort

*1 Blank Sort Template for Student Generated Sorts

*3 Follow Up Activities to Help Learners Make those Connections

These sorts move from simple facts to more sophisticated facts building on important relationships! As we learn multiplication and division, we need LOTS and LOTS of experiences considering relationships and patterns. There are 6 sorts you can use repeatedly and a blank for students to apply their understanding to make their own if you like. There are also some “exit ticket” activities to make sure students are considering the patterns and relationships we need them to appreciate!
