Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students translate a French-language word problem into a multiplication or division equation involving equal groups.

  • Students solve multiplication problems with products within 100, such as 8 aquariums with 5 fish each.

  • Students solve division problems that partition a quantity into equal groups or equal shares, such as 48 eggs packed into 6 cartons.

Teaching tips

  • Group the two Sports (Division) pages together as extra practice on the same skill, since both pages use the same division-word-problem format with a different set of numbers.

  • Since there is no answer key, plan to check answers as a class or circulate during independent work rather than relying on student self-checking.

  • Use the theme variety (animals, space, pirates, shopping) to assign different pages to different students or small groups for a quick change of pace within the same maths skill.

Skills covered

  • Multiplication word-problem solving — students find a total from equal groups, such as 7 gardens with 6 butterfly species each, using French-language prompts.

  • Division word-problem solving — students find a per-group or per-share quantity, such as 36 apples divided into 4 baskets, using French-language prompts.

  • French mathematical vocabulary — students read and interpret operation-cue phrases in French such as "Combien de... au total?", "Combien par...?", and "Résous chaque problème en utilisant la multiplication/division."

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Are the multiplication and division pages mixed together, or grouped separately?

They alternate by theme rather than being grouped by operation — for example, the Sports theme appears as two consecutive Division pages, while Multiplication and Division pages for other themes are interspersed throughout the 13 pages.
