Multiplication & Division
乘法與除法
Multiplication is repeated addition, and division is sharing into equal groups. In this lesson you will learn the times tables, how to multiply, and how to divide.
乘法是重複的加法,除法是平均分成幾份。在這一課,你會學習乘法表、怎樣乘,以及怎樣除。
1 · What is multiplication?
甚麼是乘法?
Multiplication is repeated addition. 3 × 4 means 4 added 3 times: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.
乘法是重複的加法。3 × 4 是指把 4 加 3 次:4 + 4 + 4 = 12。
2 · Times tables
乘法表
The times tables help you multiply quickly. The 5 times table goes 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and so on. Learn them by heart to get fast at maths.
乘法表幫助你快速計算。5 的乘法表是 5、10、15、20、25……熟記它們能讓你的數學更快。
5 × 1 = 5, 5 × 2 = 10, 5 × 3 = 15, 5 × 4 = 20, 5 × 5 = 25.
5 × 1 = 5、5 × 2 = 10、5 × 3 = 15、5 × 4 = 20、5 × 5 = 25。
3 · What is division?
甚麼是除法?
Division is sharing into equal groups. 12 ÷ 4 means sharing 12 things into 4 equal groups, giving 3 in each group. Division is the opposite of multiplication.
除法是平均分成幾份。12 ÷ 4 是指把 12 樣東西平均分成 4 組,每組有 3 樣。除法是乘法的相反。
4 · Fact families
事實家族
Multiplication and division are related. If 3 × 4 = 12, then 12 ÷ 4 = 3 and 12 ÷ 3 = 4. They form a fact family.
乘法和除法是相關的。如果 3 × 4 = 12,那麼 12 ÷ 4 = 3、12 ÷ 3 = 4。它們組成一個「事實家族」。
- 3 × 4 = 123 乘 4 等於 12。
- 4 × 3 = 124 乘 3 等於 12。
- 12 ÷ 4 = 312 除以 4 等於 3。
- 12 ÷ 3 = 412 除以 3 等於 4。
