Word Problems- Introduction to Multiplication

This worksheet has been designed to provide students opportunities to create word problems using multiplication and division. Students are provided visuals, in the form of arrays, which they then create a number story and sentence to solve. There are two levels for differentiation purposes. This resource is part of a larger Unit of Work- Year 2- Introduction to Multiplication.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays.
  • We are learning to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups to solve simple problems.
  • We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays and to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for twos and apply to related division facts using doubling and halving.
  • We are learning to use a range of strategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division where there is no remainder.
