Definition:
Inverse operations are math actions that undo each other. If you do one operation and then its inverse, you get back to the number you started with.
Pairs of Inverse Operations (to fill in the circles):
1.
Addition $\leftrightarrow$
Subtraction
*(Example: $5 + 3 = 8$, and $8 - 3 = 5$)*
2.
Multiplication $\leftrightarrow$
Division
*(Example: $4 \times 2 = 8$, and $8 \div 2 = 4$)*
3.
Squaring $\leftrightarrow$
Square Root
*(Example: $3^2 = 9$, and $\sqrt{9} = 3$)*
*(Note: You can use these three pairs for both columns on your worksheet.)*
Final Answer:
Definition: Operations that undo each other.
Pairs: Addition/Subtraction, Multiplication/Division, Squaring/Square Root.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of inverse operations graphic organizer.
