Times Tables and Sharing

Multiplication, times tables, division and sharing

Multiplication is repeated addition until it is not - and the shift from counting groups to knowing facts is what makes everything afterwards possible at reasonable speed.

The unit covers arrays and groups, the tables themselves, division as the inverse, sharing equally, and remainders - which are the first time a mathematical answer refuses to come out neatly.

This unit breaks down into 21 short steps and 120 questions, starting at difficulty 1 and building to 2. Below you can see exactly what it covers, how the path is structured, and worked examples with explanations.

Groups and Arrays
Sharing with Leftovers
Sharing Equally
Multiply and Divide Facts
Times Tables

Where this fits

Follows Adding and Subtracting. Fractions, ratio and algebra all assume fluency here.

Where people slip

Division is not commutative either. Six shared between two and two shared between six are different questions with different answers.

How the unit is structured

Times Tables and Sharing runs as 21 short steps that unlock in order. 15 are practice rounds and 6 are challenge rounds that pull together everything before them. Questions start at difficulty 1 and climb to 2 as you progress.

Ten split into five equal parts gives 2, so this is true.
Odd one outLevel 1
8. Which one is the odd one out?
- 40 / 8correct

9. Which of these equal 9? Pick all that are correct.
- 72 / 8correct
- 81 / 9correct
- 54 / 6correct
- 63 / 9
72/8, 81/9 and 54/6 all equal 9, but 63/9 equals 7.
Fill the blankLevel 2
10. 72 / 8 = ____
- 9correct
- 8
- 7
- 6
72 / 8 = 9, because 8 x 9 = 72.
Match the pairsLevel 2
11. Match each division to its answer.
Answer: 64 / 8 = 8; 49 / 7 = 7; 54 / 9 = 6
64 / 8 = 8, 49 / 7 = 7 and 54 / 9 = 6.
Multiple choiceLevel 2
12. What is 72 / 9?
- 8correct
- 9
- 7
- 6
72 / 9 = 8, because 9 x 8 = 72.

Sharing Equally

Build the sentenceLevel 1
13. Build the sentence about sharing.
Answer: Sharing means splitting into equal groups
Sharing means splitting a group into equal parts.
Match the pairsLevel 1
14. Match each sharing to how many each person gets.
Answer: 8 shared between 2 = 4 each; 9 shared between 3 = 3 each; 10 shared between 5 = 2 each
8/2 = 4 each, 9/3 = 3 each, and 10/5 = 2 each.
Multiple choiceLevel 1
15. 8 cookies are shared between 4 plates. How many cookies on each plate?
- 2correct
- 3
- 4
- 1
8 shared between 4 is 8 / 4, so each plate gets 2.
Choose all that applyLevel 2
16. Which shares leave NO leftover? Pick all that are correct.
- 48 / 6correct
- 40 / 8correct
- 36 / 9correct
- 38 / 5
48/6, 40/8 and 36/9 all share exactly, but 38/5 has a leftover.
Fact or fibLevel 2
17. Sharing 35 equally between 7 gives 5 each with none left over.
Answer: True
35 / 7 = 5 exactly, so there is nothing left over.
Fill the blankLevel 2
18. Sharing 63 grapes between 9 plates gives ____ grapes on each plate.
- 7correct
- 8
- 6
- 9
63 / 9 = 7, so each plate gets 7 grapes.

Sharing with Leftovers

Build the sentenceLevel 1

- 2
- 0
- 3
Each pot gets 2 pencils (that is 8), and 1 pencil is left over.
Fact or fibLevel 2

Where these questions come from. Each unit starts as a plan of the concepts it should cover and the difficulty it should span. Questions are written against that plan with AI assistance, then checked by a validator that rejects anything without a single defensible answer, an explanation, or plausible wrong options. How we write questions sets out the whole process, and corrections are fixed in the bank and reach the site and the app the same day.
