Hello, my magical friend! Are you ready to learn some math tricks? Today, we’re going to explore multiplication and division, which are like magic spells for numbers. Let’s dive in and see how they work!
Imagine you have a bunch of magic wands, and you want to count them quickly. Multiplication can help! Multiplying is like adding the same number over and over again. It’s a super handy math trick!
Let’s say you have four hats, and each hat has three magic wands. How many wands do you have in total? You can add them like this: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3, or you can multiply: 3 wands times 4 hats. Both ways give you 12 wands!
Here’s another example: You need to buy three toads for your magic potions class. Each toad costs two coins. How many coins do you need? You can add: 2 + 2 + 2, or multiply: 3 toads times 2 coins each. Both ways give you 6 coins!
In multiplication, the numbers you multiply are called factors, and the answer is the product. And guess what? The order of the factors doesn’t matter! This is called the commutative property. For example, 3 times 5 is the same as 5 times 3, and both equal 15!
Now, let’s talk about division. Division is like sharing equally. Imagine you have 9 bananas and 3 monkey friends. You want to give each monkey the same number of bananas. How do you do it?
You can hand out the bananas one by one: one for the first monkey, one for the second, and one for the third. Keep going until all bananas are shared. Each monkey gets 3 bananas! So, 9 bananas divided by 3 monkeys equals 3 bananas each.
Let’s try another example. You have 8 mangoes and 4 monkeys. How many mangoes does each monkey get? Share them out: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Each monkey gets 2 mangoes! So, 8 mangoes divided by 4 monkeys equals 2 mangoes each.
Here’s a fun challenge: You have 6 balls and 3 monkeys. How many balls should each monkey get? Think about it for a moment. If you divide 6 balls among 3 monkeys, each monkey gets 2 balls!
Now you’re becoming a math expert! Keep practicing, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can learn. Remember, math is like magic, and you have the power to master it!

Magic Wand Multiplication Game: Gather some small objects like pencils or crayons to represent magic wands. Ask a friend or family member to help you. One person will choose a number of “hats” (groups), and the other will choose how many “wands” (objects) go in each hat. Multiply the numbers to find the total number of wands. Switch roles and try different numbers. Can you find a quick way to count all the wands without adding each time?
Banana Sharing Activity: Use small snacks like grapes or crackers to practice division. Pretend you have a certain number of snacks and a group of toy animals or dolls. Share the snacks equally among the toys. How many does each toy get? Try different numbers of snacks and toys. Can you predict how many each will get before you start sharing?
Commutative Property Exploration: Use building blocks or LEGO pieces to explore the commutative property of multiplication. Create two different groups, like 3 blocks in 4 rows and 4 blocks in 3 rows. Count the total number of blocks in each arrangement. Are they the same? Try with different numbers and see if the order of multiplication changes the total.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello, my wizard friend! What are you doing? Can I help you? Have you seen how many wands I’ve got here? My friends went to the playground, and I’m trying to count them, but there are so many that I can’t figure it out. I know an easy way to count all these wands. Do you want me to show you how to multiply?
Together, we’re going to count all these magic wands thanks to the math operation of multiplication. Multiplying is like adding the same number several times. It’s a math operation you’ll be doing a lot, day after day. It’s easy; you’ll see!
As you can see, there are four hats and three wands in each one of them. How can we work out how many wands there are altogether? We can try two ways: adding or multiplying. This means we can calculate it like this: three wands plus three more wands plus three more plus three more, or three wands multiplied by four hats. Both ways will give us the same result: twelve.
So, to multiply is to add several times the same numbers, right? That’s it! Let’s look at another example. Imagine you need to buy three toads for your magic potions class. If each toad costs two coins, how many coins do you need to buy three of them?
It’s very simple. We can add this way: two coins plus two coins plus two coins, which equals six coins. Or we can multiply three toads by two coins each, which also equals six coins. This means three toads cost six coins. Do you see how fast you can count now that you know how to multiply?
It’s incredible! My friends are going to be amazed. And how do you call these multiplication numbers? You mean the parts of multiplication? The numbers to be multiplied are called factors, and the answer is the product.
It’s also important to know that the order in which we multiply the factors is not significant. Even if we switch that order, we’d still get the same result. Let’s see how this works with this example: three by five, which is the same as three plus three plus three plus three plus three, equals fifteen. And five by three, which is the same as five plus five plus five, also equals fifteen.
This means that the result of multiplying three by five is the same as multiplying five by three: fifteen. We call this the commutative property of multiplication, which means that the order of factors does not change the product.
It’s that easy! What an amazing trick! Now you know how to multiply, and you’ll be surprised how often you’re going to do this math operation. If you learn the multiplication tables, you’ll be unbeatable!
Good morning, my friend! I see you’re very concentrated thinking about something. Can I help you with anything? Hi there! My friends and I are hungry, and look how many bananas I’ve got. The problem is, I would like to give the same number of bananas to each one of them, and I don’t know how to do it. I don’t want my friends to be mad at me.
So, what you want to do is share out this quantity of bananas in equal parts, right? Yes, that’s it! Well, this is called dividing. To divide is to split a whole into equal parts.
Let’s see how we can share out these nine bananas among three monkeys. Let’s start handing out the bananas one by one: one for the brown monkey, one for the gray monkey, and one for you. Let’s do another round: one for the brown monkey, one for the gray monkey, and one for you. Come on, there are only a few left to go: one for the brown monkey, one for the gray monkey, and one for you. Done!
We’ve shared out all the bananas. How many bananas does each monkey have now? We have three bananas each! That was great sharing! The math operation we did was nine bananas divided by three monkeys, which equals three bananas for each monkey. Thank you for helping me! My friends are really happy!
Here’s another friend who came over for dinner. He brought eight mangoes; they look so yummy! Now you are four monkeys, and there are eight mangoes. What should we do so that each monkey gets the same number of mangoes? Easy peasy! We start sharing them out like we did before: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.
Now look, each monkey friend has two mangoes. The math operation we did was eight mangoes divided by four monkeys, which equals two mangoes for each monkey.
Let’s see if you understood. Here’s a challenge for you: you have six balls, and you need to divide them among three monkeys. How many balls should you give to each monkey? You have 10 seconds to think about it. That’s it! If you shared out six balls among three monkeys, you’d give each monkey two balls.
Now you know what division is! Do you realize that little by little, you’re becoming a math expert? Keep up the good work!
