The Clever Crow β€” A Story

Once upon a time, a thirsty crow was flying over a village on a hot summer day. He spotted a tall pitcher on a window ledge, but the water was very low. The crow tried to reach the water with his beak, but it was too far down. He thought carefully and looked around. He noticed small pebbles scattered nearby on the ground. One by one, the clever crow dropped the pebbles into the pitcher. Slowly, the water level rose higher and higher. Finally, when the water reached the top, the crow drank happily. The villagers watched in amazement at how clever the bird was. From that day, everyone in the village told the story of the wise crow who used his brain instead of giving up.

βœ–οΈ Multiplication & Division

πŸ“Š Times Tables Reference (2–10)

Use this table to memorize your times tables! Hover over each cell to highlight it.

Γ—12345678910

βœ–οΈ Multiplication: 2-Digit Γ— 1-Digit

Example: 23 Γ— 4
Step 1: Break it apart β†’ (20 Γ— 4) + (3 Γ— 4)
Step 2: Calculate β†’ 80 + 12 = 92 βœ…
3 Γ— 4 = 12
4 Γ— 5 = 20

βž— Division as Sharing

12 Γ· 3 = ?
Think: If you share 12 apples among 3 friends equally, each gets 4 apples.
12 Γ· 3 = 4 βœ…

πŸ”’ Division with Remainders

14 Γ· 3 = ?
3 goes into 14 β†’ 4 times (3 Γ— 4 = 12). Leftover: 14 βˆ’ 12 = 2
So 14 Γ· 3 = 4 remainder 2 (written as 4 R2)

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Fact Families

Multiplication and division are related! They belong to the same fact family:

3 Γ— 5 = 15
5 Γ— 3 = 15
15 Γ· 3 = 5
15 Γ· 5 = 3
