Inverse operation: The opposite operation to the one you are using. If you are using multiplication, the inverse operation is division. 

ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Have your child solve the following multiplication problems using the vertical algorithm strategy. 

23 x 4

45 x 7

78 x 4

98 x 7 

23 x 45

45 x 67

78 x 12

98 x 63

89 x 23

546 x 23

657 x 43

231x 67 

234 x 87

If your child would like a further challenge they may check their answers using a different strategy or the inverse operation.
