The Turn-Around Rule for Multiplication

Family Note Today your child explored the turn-around rule for multiplication, which says two numbers may be multiplied in either order and the product will remain the same.
For example: 2 × 5 = 10 and 5 × 2 = 10.
Knowing this rule can help children multiply more easily.
Children also took inventory of the facts they can solve quickly and
easily and those they still need to practice.

Sketch an array to match each fact. Then sketch that array turned around. Record a number sentence to match the second array.
Question 1.

Answer:
Explanation:
Sketched an array to match each fact as 2 X 6 = 12,
Then sketched that array turned around as 6 X 2 = 12.
Recorded a number sentence to match the second array as
6 X 2 = 12 as shown above.

Question 2.

Answer:

Explanation:
Sketched an array to match each fact as 5 X 3 = 15,
Then sketched that array turned around as 3 X 5 = 15.
Recorded a number sentence to match the second array as
3 X 5 = 15 as shown above.

Question 3.
Use Problems 1 and 2 to tell someone why the turn-around rule works.
Answer:
The turn-around rule works and gets the same results,

Explanation:
Each array shows the same number of dots,
but the rows and columns are switched,
I can also switch the numbers around when I multiply
so the turn-around rule works and gets the same results.

Question 4.
Choose a multiplication fact you need to practice.
Write a strategy you can use to figure it out.
My fact: ______2____ × _____3_____ = ____6______
Strategy: ___3 + 3 = 6_______
Answer:
My fact : 3 X 2 = 6,
Strategy = 3 + 3 = 6,

Explanation:
My fact is 3 X 2 = 6 and applying strategy is
the repeated addition of the same number is
expressed by multiplication in short, hence
repeated addition of 3 two times is equal to
3 multiplied by 2, So 3 x 2 = 3 + 3 = 6, the result is same.

Name-Collection Boxes

Family Note Today your child discussed and wrote equivalent names for numbers in name collection boxes. You can find an explanation of name-collection boxes on pages 96-97 in the Student Reference Book.

Question 1.
Write at least 10 names for the number 18 in the name-collection box.
Then explain to someone at home how the box works.
Have that person add another name for 18.

Answer:

Explanation:
Wrote at least 10 names for the number 18 in the
name-collection box above as
1. 9 + 9, adding 9 to 9 we get 18,
2. 2 X 9, multiplying 2 by 9 we get 18,
3. Number of days in 2 weeks + 4 days means
14 + 4 = 18,
4. 36 ÷ 2 =18, Dividing 36 by 2 we get 18,
5. One and half dozen means 12 + 6 = 18,
6. By using tally numbers as shown above,
7. Adding 6 to 6 and 6 we get 18,
8. Subtracting 2 from 20 we get 18,
9. Writing 18 in words as Eighteen,
10. Adding 8 to 10 we get 18,
Now adding one more name for 18 as
multiplying 3 with 6 we get 18.

Question 2.
Three of the names do not belong in this box. Cross them out.
Then write the name of the box on the tag.

Answer:

Explanation:
Wrote three of the names do not belong in this box as
1. Tally number,
2. 18 – 4,
3. 9 – 3 crossed them out as shown above,
rest all names are 12 so wrote the name of
the box on the tag as 12.

Question 3.
Make up a problem like Problem 2. Do not write
the name of the box on the tag. Write 4 names for
the number and 2 names that are not names for the number.
To check whether the problem makes sense, ask someone
at home to tell you which 2 names do not belong.
Then have that person write the name of the box on the tag.
Answer:
Names are 1. 10 + 6,  2. 4 X 4,
3. 2 dozen,  4. 32 ÷ 2, 5. 24 – 4 and 6. 8 + 8,
Now 2 names that are not names for the number are
2 dozen and 24 -4, The name of the box on the tag is 16,

Explanation:
Wrote 4 names for the number and 2 names that
are not names for the number as
1. 10 + 6, adding 6 to 10 we get 16,
2. 4 X 4, multipling 4 by 4 we get 16,
3. 2 dozen,  two dozens = 12 + 12 we get 24,
4. 32 ÷ 2, 32 divided by 2 we get 12,
5. 24 – 4, subtracting 4 from 24 we get 20 and
6. 8 + 8, adding 8 to 8 we get 16,
Now 2 names that are not names for the number are
3. 2 dozen and 5. 24 -4, therefore the name of the box
on the tag is 16.
