Curriculum

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.1

Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.2

Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 o...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.3

Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7

Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all pr...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.D.8

Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including roundi...

Math 2.6(A)

Model, create, and describe contextual multiplication situations in which equivalent sets of concrete objects are joined; and
Math 2.6(B)

Model, create, and describe contextual division situations in which a set of concrete objects is separated into equivalent sets.
Math 3.4(E)

Represent multiplication facts by using a variety of approaches such as repeated addition, equal-sized groups, arrays, area models, equal jumps on a number line, and skip counting;
Math 3.4(H)

Determine the number of objects in each group when a set of objects is partitioned into equal shares or a set of objects is shared equally;
Math 3.4(J)

Determine a quotient using the relationship between multiplication and division; and
Math 3.4(K)

Solve one-step and two-step problems involving multiplication and division within 100 using strategies based on objects; pictorial models, including arrays, area models, and equal groups; properties of operations; or recall of facts.
Math 3.5(D)

Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers when the unknown is either a missing factor or product; and

Practice reading, writing, and solving basic multiplication and division word problems with a matching activity.

Take a break from math worksheets with our set of Multiplication and Division word problem-matching cards.

Each group of matching cards gives your students an opportunity to apply their reading proficiency and problem-solving skills while working on number operations.

Match to Practice Multiplication and Division Word Problems

This resource can be used as an independent activity to reinforce operational concepts by having students solve and record their matches on a marker board or notebook.

This activity requires students to read individual multiplication and division word problems. They will then match those word problems with the corresponding number sentence and solution.
