See the fact file below for more information on the multiplicative comparison or alternatively, you can download our 17-page Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Multiplicative Comparison CCSS 4.0A.2 worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment.

Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

  • At the end of the lesson, students will be able to multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, as well as distinguish multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER:

  • When teaching multiplicative comparison, keep in mind the following:
    • Remind the student every now and then of factors in multiplication.
    • When dealing with multiplicative comparison, it is best to visually demonstrate the equations.
    • Try to incorporate as many visual aids as possible.

THEORY:

  • Multiplication is an integral part of mathematics. It makes sense to make sure that students fully grasp the concept of multiplication. One way of doing this is by practicing multiplicative comparison.
  • Sometimes, some equations will have the letter “x” or utilize a symbol for an unknown value. Through the previous lessons we learned, we know that it is still very possible to get the value of the unknown value. Think of it like “Fill-in-the-Blanks”. For example, in the equation 7 x ▲ = 28. We already have 2 known values, 7 and 49. From our previous knowledge of multiplication, we can figure out that the ▲ is equal to 4. Try it yourself! 7 x 4 will equal 28.
  • Once again, it is important to distinguish multiplication from addition as, often in word problems, multiplication is mixed with addition. Let the kids know that “_______ times more” refers to multiplication, while “_______ more” refers to addition.
  • In this module, we will be practicing our multiplication skills more, as well as differentiating multiplication from addition.
