Multiplication and Division

🔹 What Is Multiplication?

Multiplication means adding the same number again and again.

Example:
If you have 3 bags, and each bag has 4 apples:
You can add: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
Or multiply:

3 × 4 = 12

🔹 What Is Division?

Division means splitting something into equal parts.

Example:
If you have 12 apples, and you want to share them with 4 friends,
you divide:

12 ÷ 4 = 3 apples per person

🧠 Clue to Remember

• Multiplication is fast adding
  
  

• Division is fast sharing
  They are opposites (they undo each other)
  
  

💡 Why It Matters

• Helps you solve problems faster
  
  

• Needed in shopping, measuring, cooking, and saving
  
  

• Used in all upper-level math (fractions, algebra, etc.)
  
  

✏️ Example of Multiplication

What is 6 × 7?
