What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students multiply whole numbers from 0 to 12 accurately and consistently. They use multiplication facts to solve related division problems and connect the equations in fact families.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students accurately solve multiplication facts through 12 × 12 and related division facts without models or repeated addition. They use a known product to find missing factors and quotients.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may reverse the dividend and divisor, such as writing 7 ÷ 56 instead of 56 ÷ 7. They may know a multiplication fact but fail to use it to solve related division facts, or treat multiplication as repeated addition without building recall.
How to Assess It
- Give this exit ticket: Solve 7 × 8, 56 ÷ 7, and 56 ÷ 8, then write one sentence explaining how the facts are related.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs 48 counters and ask them to build equal rows, record each multiplication equation, and write both related division equations.
Ask students to explain in writing how knowing 9 × 6 helps them solve 54 ÷ 9 and 54 ÷ 6.
Play fact-family match with cards showing multiplication equations, division equations, and products, with students collecting complete four-equation families.
Give a seating problem: Arrange 72 chairs into 8 equal rows, then find the chairs per row and write the related multiplication fact.
