Multiplication Problems (top section):
1. 5 × 2 = 10
→ 5 groups of 2: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10
2. 3 × 3 = 9
→ 3 groups of 3: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
3. 4 × 3 = 12
→ 4 groups of 3: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
4. 7 × 2 = 14
→ 7 groups of 2: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14
5. 5 × 3 = 15
→ 5 groups of 3: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
6. 5 × 4 = 20
→ 5 groups of 4: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20
7. 9 × 2 = 18
→ 9 groups of 2: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 18
8. 2 × 6 = 12
→ 2 groups of 6: 6 + 6 = 12
9. 8 × 3 = 24
→ 8 groups of 3: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 24
10. 4 × 4 = 16
→ 4 groups of 4: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16

Division Problems (bottom section):
We can think of division as “how many times does the second number fit into the first?”
1. 10 ÷ 2 = ?
→ How many 2s in 10? 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 → that’s 5 times →
5
2. 20 ÷ 5 = ?
→ How many 5s in 20? 5, 10, 15, 20 → that’s 4 times →
4
3. 14 ÷ 7 = ?
→ How many 7s in 14? 7, 14 → that’s 2 times →
2
4. 21 ÷ 3 = ?
→ How many 3s in 21? 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 → that’s 7 times →
7
5. 9 ÷ 3 = ?
→ How many 3s in 9? 3, 6, 9 → that’s 3 times →
3
6. 12 ÷ 2 = ?
→ How many 2s in 12? 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 → that’s 6 times →
6
7. 15 ÷ 5 = ?
→ How many 5s in 15? 5, 10, 15 → that’s 3 times →
3
8. 21 ÷ 7 = ?
→ How many 7s in 21? 7, 14, 21 → that’s 3 times →
3
9. 12 ÷ 3 = ?
→ How many 3s in 12? 3, 6, 9, 12 → that’s 4 times →
4
10. 15 ÷ 3 = ?
→ How many 3s in 15? 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 → that’s 5 times →
