Making tables by splitting into equal groups

Here is an arrangement of wheels. To count the total number of wheels, Tara splits them into two equal groups.

14 wheels

3 × 14 = 3 × 7 and 3 × 7 = 21 + 21 = double of 21 = 42

Similarly, 6 × 14 can be obtained by splitting the arrangement into two equal groups.

6 × 14 = Double of 6 × 7 Why?

two groups wheels

6 × 14 = 6 × 7 and 6 × 7 = 42 + 42 = double of 42 = 84

We have seen how to calculate 3 × 14 and 6 × 14 by splitting and doubling. Can we construct the times-14 table by splitting and doubling? Try!

What other times-tables can be constructed by splitting into equal groups and doubling? Give examples.

Discuss in grade what happens when we take several groups of 10.

Note for Teachers: Support the learners in understanding multiplication when group size is a multiple of 10. Language of ‘tens’ is a useful way to think about this.

For example: 16 × 10 = 16 Tens is 160

16 × 20 = 16 × 2 Tens = 32 Tens = 320

A Day at the Transport Museum

transport museum

Amala, Raahi and Farzan are visiting the “Transport Museum”.

This museum has a collection of different modes of transport used by people in India. It includes several vehicles from the olden days.

Raahi spots a toy train. She figures out that each coach can seat 14 children. The toy train has 15 coaches.

How many children can be seated in the toy train?

We have to find 15 × 14.

In 15 coaches, 210 children can be seated.

She wonders how many coaches will be needed for the 324 children from her school. Remember, each coach can seat only 14 children.

We have to find 324 ÷ 14

Note for Teachers: Encourage students to understand the multiplication of a number times-100 by splitting the number of groups in suitable ways. For example, 18 × 100 = 18 Hundreds = 10 Hundreds and 8 Hundreds, that is, 1800. Also, children should be encouraged to see relationships in the answers to two different multiplication problems like the ones above, for example, changing the group size from 100 to 200 or changing the number of groups from 11 to 22.

Find the answers in Set A. Examine the relationships between the problems and the answers in Set A carefully. Then use this understanding to find the answers in Set B.

Amala is fascinated to read this information in the aeroplane section of the transport museum.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian Government undertook a massive evacuation of Indians living outside the country, under a mission called Vande Bharat. In the first week, 64 flights carried 152 people each.”

Note for Teachers: Encourage students to understand the patterns in the above problems. Relationships between doubles and halves and multiplication by 10s and 100s should be pointed out.

Amala wonders how many people travelled the first week of this ‘Vande Bharat Mission’.

The technique for making these boats is 800 years old. Vallam kali (the snake-boat race) is held during the monsoon season between July and September and concludes with Onam, the harvest festival. These boats are 30 to 35 metres long and can be peddled by 64 –128 people.

In a particular race, 960 participants volunteered. Each boat is pedalled by 64 people. How many boats will be needed?
