Read, model, calculate, check

Ask learners to identify what is known and what the question asks. A drawing, timeline or equation can make the relationship visible before they calculate. Check the answer against the original story and keep its unit.

The ready-made English downloads include practice alone or a separate answer key. The generator keeps the same questions in the preview and PDF, and a saved link reproduces the selected set.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Use the known and unknown quantities in an equal-group relationship to choose an operation.

Worked example

Six trays hold 8 rolls each. How many rolls are there? If 48 rolls go equally onto 6 trays, how many are on each tray?

6 × 8 = 48 rolls; 48 ÷ 6 = 8 rolls per tray.

The underlying relationship stays the same. The question changes which quantity is unknown.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Use one bar model to write both a multiplication and a division story.
  • Label all three quantities before calculating.
  • Check answers with the inverse operation.
