COMPONENT NAMES

MULTIPLICATION ACTIONS

DIVISION DIVISOR PARTICIPANT

6: 3 = 2

PRIVATE

To find the unknown dividend, you need to multiply the quotient

For a divider.

2 3 = 6

To find the unknown

The divisor is to divide the dividend by the quotient.

6: 2 = 3

1. Division by content

12 apples were arranged on plates, 3 apples on each plate. How many plates did you need?

In order to solve the problem, you need to answer the question - HOW MANY TIMES IS 3 IN 12.

12: 3 = 4

2. Division into equal parts

12 apples are divided equally among 4 plates. How many apples are on each plate?

We argue:

We take 4 apples, lay out one apple on each plate. Then we take 4 more apples, lay out one more apple on a plate. And we take 4 more apples, lay out again one apple on a plate. Thus, in order to solve the problem, you need to answer the question - HOW MANY TIMES IS 4 IN 12?

CONNECTION

BETWEEN RESULT AND

COMPONENTS OF MULTIPLICATION

4 2 = 8

8: 4 = 2

8: 2 = 4

If the product of two factors is divided by one of them, then another factor is obtained.

PROBLEM TO FIND THE SUM

There were 7 blue cars and 10 red cars on the shelf. How many cars were on the shelf in total?


The way children get acquainted with this rule (law) is due to the previously introduced meaning of the action of multiplication. Using object models of sets, children count the results of grouping their elements different ways, making sure the results don't change from changing the grouping methods.

The counting of elements of a picture (set) in pairs horizontally coincides with the counting of elements in triples vertically. Considering several variants of such cases gives the teacher a reason to make an inductive generalization (that is, a generalization of several special cases in a generalized rule) that rearranging the factors does not change the value of the product.

Based on this rule, used as a counting method, a multiplication table by 2 is compiled.

For example: Using the multiplication table for the number 2, calculate and memorize the multiplication table for 2:

Based on the same technique, a multiplication table by 3 is compiled:

The compilation of the first two tables is distributed over two lessons, which accordingly increases the time allotted for memorizing them. Each of the last two tables is compiled in one lesson, since it is assumed that children, knowing the original table, should not separately memorize the results of the tables obtained by rearranging the factors. In fact, many children learn each table separately, because the insufficient level of development of the flexibility of thinking does not allow them to easily rebuild the model of the learned table case scheme in the reverse order. When calculating cases of the form 9 2 or 8 3, the children again return to the method of sequential addition, which naturally takes time to obtain a result. This situation is most likely generated by the fact that for a significant number of children, such a separation in time of interconnected cases of multiplication (those that are connected by the rule of permutation of factors) does not allow the formation of an associative chain focused specifically on the relationship.

When compiling a multiplication table for the number 5 in grade 3, only the first product is obtained by adding the same terms: 5 5 \u003d 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 \u003d 25. The remaining cases are obtained by adding five to the previous result:

5 6 = 5 5+ 5 = 30 5 7 = 5 6+ 5 = 35 5 8 = 5 7 + 5 = 40 5 9 = 5 8 + 5 = 45

Simultaneously with this table, an interconnected table of multiplication by 5 is compiled: 6 5; 7 5; 8 5; 9 5.

The multiplication table for the number 6 contains four cases: 6 6; 6 7; 6 8; 6 9.

The 6 multiplication table contains three cases: 7 6; 8 6; 9 6.



The theoretical approach to such a construction of a system for studying tabular multiplication suggests that it is in this correspondence that the child will memorize cases of tabular multiplication.

The most easy to remember multiplication table for the number 2 contains the largest number of cases, and the most difficult to remember multiplication table for the number 9 contains only one case. In reality, considering each new "portion" of the multiplication table, the teacher usually restores the entire volume of each table (all cases). Even if the teacher draws the attention of the children to the fact that a new case in this lesson is, for example, only the case 9 9, and 9 8, 9 7 etc. items were studied in previous lessons, most of the children perceive the entire proposed volume as material for new memorization. Thus, in fact, for many children, the multiplication table for the number 9 is the largest and most complex (and this is true, if we keep in mind the list of all cases that relate to it).

A large amount of material that requires memorization by heart, the difficulty in forming associative links when memorizing interconnected cases, the need for all children to achieve a solid memorization of all tabular cases by heart within the time limits set by the program - all this makes the topic of studying tabular multiplication in primary school one of the most methodologically difficult. In this regard, questions related to the methods of memorizing the child's multiplication table are important.

Definition. Multiplication is an operation that results in finding the sum of identical terms. Multiply number A per number b means to find the sum b terms, each of which is equal to a.

The numbers that are multiplied are called factors (or multipliers), and the result of multiplication is called a product.

At multiplication natural numbers product is always a positive number. If one of the factors is 0 (zero), then the product is 0. If the product is zero, then at least one of the factors is 0.

If one of the two factors is equal to 1 (one), then work equal to the second factor.

  • For example:
  • 5 * 6 * 8 * 0 = 0
  • 132 * 1 = 132

Laws of multiplication

associative law

Rule. To multiply the product of two factors by the third factor, you can multiply the first factor by the product of the second and third factors.

  • For example:
  • (7 * 6) * 5 = 7 * (6 * 5) = 210
  • (a * b) * c = a * (b * c)

displacement law

Rule. By rearranging the factors, the product does not change.

  • For example:
  • 7 * 6 * 5 = 5 * 6 * 7 = 210
  • a * b * c = c * b * a

distributive law

Rule. To multiply a number by a sum, you can multiply this number by each of the terms and add the resulting products.

  • For example:
  • 7 * (6 + 5) = 7 * 6 + 7 * 5 = 77
  • a * (b + c) = ab + ac

The distributive law also applies to subtraction.

  • For example:
  • 7 * (6 — 5) = 7 * 6 — 7 * 5 = 7

The laws of multiplication apply to any number of factors in numerical or literal terms. The distributive law of multiplication is used to take the common factor out of brackets.

Rule. To convert the sum (difference) into a product, it is enough to bracket the same factor of the terms, and write the remaining factors in brackets as the sum (difference).

Expressions are written on the board.

Guys, Misha got confused in solving expressions, he was able to solve only one expression. Which?

And with what expressions he could not cope.

Let's help him.

How are these expressions similar?

How are they different?

Find an extra expression? Why do you think it's redundant?

Close with a card the expression that you think is superfluous.

He had already solved such expressions with Masha.

Children answer:

they are similar in that all expressions involve addition.

They differ in that not all expressions have the same second term.

The second expression is superfluous, because the first term is a single-digit number.

What is the first task of the lesson?

Working with the tutorial on page 32

The teacher reads the task:

Once Misha said: “Masha, I noticed that if you add the number 10 with the single-digit number 2, you get the number 12, in which there is 1 ten and 2 more units.”

Can you tell me how to solve this example using the model?

What can be said?

How many tens and how many units in the number 1

Who wants to run the second model and tell how the expression 10 + 5 is solved

What did you notice as a result of the addition action?

How are these examples similar and different, and why?

Compare your rule with what is in the textbook.

Write down the rest of the addition steps in your notebook.

Can you complete the new scheme by adding any one-digit number to the number 10?

Finish the output:

When adding the number 10 to any one-digit number, a two-digit number is obtained, which has ...

Check our conclusion with the conclusion in the textbook.

Let's summarize the work. Read 1 problem.

Are we up to the task? (put v opposite the completed task)

Well done boys.

Open the addition trick with the number 10.

Children lay out mugs on the board and in notebooks. (10 green and 2 red)

1 term - 10 is denoted in green, the second term - 2 is denoted in red

There are 12 circles in total.

In the number 12 = 1 ten and 2 units.

Children perform similar work.

The result is two-digit numbers.

They are similar in that in the answer the number 1 is in the place of tens, but they differ in that in the place of units in the first example there is the number 2, and in the second -5, because in the first example they added a single-digit number 2, and in the second example they added 5.

in the tens place is the number 1, and in the units place is the digit of this single-digit number.

Children read:

When adding the number 10 to a single-digit number, a two-digit number is obtained, in which the digit 1 is in the tens place, and the digit of this single-digit number is in the ones place.

(ability for self-assessment based on the criterion of success in educational activities)

How funny it is to watch the seething of shit in the minds of people who are far from mathematics, physics, natural sciences in general and on the methods of their teaching in secondary schools.

This is me about the widespread discussion of the "unfair" assessment by the teacher of such a solution to a simple problem:

When people see such an assessment in their heads, as a rule, there is a cognitive dissonance associated with the fact that the majority, albeit intuitively, remember that the multiplication operation is communicative, i.e. from the permutation of the places of the factors, the product does not change, i.e. a*b = b*a.

But here you need to understand that the problem under discussion belongs to the category of the most elementary, when the child not only does not know the properties of multiplication, but has just met for the first time the concept of multiplication, introduced as the addition of identical terms.

So from a mathematical point of view, the solution to the problem should look like this:

2l + 2l + 2l + 2l + 2l + 2l + 2l + 2l + 2l = 2l * 9 = 18l

And the order of the factors is really important for understanding the operation of multiplication. And this is not a whim of contemporary Russian Methodists. This is what they wrote in mathematics textbooks 130 years ago: § 42. What is multiplication. Multiplication is the addition of like terms. In this case, the number that is repeated as a term is called a multiplier (it is multiplied), and the number showing how many such identical terms are taken is called a multiplier.(Kiselev, first edition 1884).

The same was written about in the communist textbooks of the beginning of the last century (State pedagogical institute them. Herzen, I.N. Kavun, N.S. Popova, "Methods of teaching arithmetic. For teachers elementary school and students of pedagogical colleges". Approved by the People's Commissariat for Education of the RSFSR, 1934):

It is obvious that the solution proposed by the student shows that he did not understand the essence of the multiplication operation, which was appropriately assessed by the teacher.

Even assuming that the genius student himself guessed (or even knew) about the communicativeness of the multiplication operation, his decision is still wrong. The point is that if he wrote in the solution:

then the answer would be correct. However, liters, as a dimension, are missing on the left side of the equation and appear out of nowhere on the right side. Record same

moreover, is correct, despite the lack of dimension (n) in the left part, because this dimension is omitted, based on the initial conditions of the problem, implying that the dimension of the answer will be the same as the dimension of the multiplicand, which always comes first.

By the way, misunderstanding of dimensions leads to sad consequences in adult life. Read an angry opus biglebowsky who, with a smug smile, writes frank nonsense, calculating the distance that the car traveled in 2 hours at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour: S = 60km/h * 2h = 120km/h. Next, we remember physical meaning problem and discard the tail of the solution "/h".

And such illiterate people, who are not versed in elementary mathematics and physics, consider it possible and acceptable to scold the one and a half century methods of teaching children the basics of mathematics.

Moreover, they themselves (yes, all of you too) studied multiplication at school in due time. In the USSR, there was one textbook for all schools, and in it the order of factors in the study of the multiplication operation was important. And in the same way, they lowered the marks for rearranging the factors, since this showed the student's misunderstanding of the essence of the multiplication operation and testified to a simple selection of factors, without understanding the essence of the phenomena.

Another thing is that later, after studying the laws of multiplication and consolidating knowledge about the communicativeness of the multiplication operation, the skill of correctly writing multipliers becomes unnecessary and is forgotten about. But at the same time, one should not forget about the correct dimension. In the end, all further study of physics is based on this.

In general, I wanted to convey a simple idea. If a person does not understand what the teacher tells him, then, as a rule, it is not the teacher's fault, but the person has problems.
