Before you begin
How to use this activity
Allow about five minutes. Have paper available for drawings or calculations. Ask learners to explain a strategy before choosing an answer. This activity is untimed, so accuracy and reasoning can come first.
This is a short knowledge check. For BrainFusion gameplay, explore Quiz Quest or the shared game library.
Put it into practice
Choose an answer, read the explanation, then move to the next question. Your answers stay in this page and are not saved.
There are 6 bags with 4 counters in each bag. How many counters are there altogether?
Six equal groups of four make 6 × 4 = 24. You can count by fours six times: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24.
What is 7 × 8?
Use a fact you know: 7 × 4 = 28. Eight is twice four, so double 28 to get 56.
Which expression has the same value as 9 × 6?
Nine groups of six are one group of six fewer than ten groups. So 9 × 6 = 60 − 6 = 54.
What is 0 × 12?
Zero groups of twelve contain no objects. Multiplying any number by zero gives zero.
Which number makes this equation true: 8 × ? = 48?
Eight groups of six make 48, so the missing factor is 6. The related division fact is 48 ÷ 8 = 6.
What is 12 × 12?
Break one twelve into ten and two: (10 × 12) + (2 × 12) = 120 + 24 = 144.
Practice complete
Choose one missed fact, draw its equal groups, and explain a different way to find the product. Then practice that fact again with a teacher, partner, or on your own.

Equal groups
There are 6 bags with 4 counters in each bag. How many counters are there altogether?
Answer: 24
Six equal groups of four make 6 × 4 = 24. You can count by fours six times: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24.
-
Use a known fact
What is 7 × 8?
Answer: 56
Use a fact you know: 7 × 4 = 28. Eight is twice four, so double 28 to get 56.
-
Break it apart
Which expression has the same value as 9 × 6?
Answer: (10 × 6) − 6
Nine groups of six are one group of six fewer than ten groups. So 9 × 6 = 60 − 6 = 54.
-
Zero groups
What is 0 × 12?
Answer: 0
Zero groups of twelve contain no objects. Multiplying any number by zero gives zero.
-
Missing factor
Which number makes this equation true: 8 × ? = 48?
Answer: 6
Eight groups of six make 48, so the missing factor is 6. The related division fact is 48 ÷ 8 = 6.
-
A larger fact
What is 12 × 12?
Answer: 144
Break one twelve into ten and two: (10 × 12) + (2 × 12) = 120 + 24 = 144.
Take it one step further
Choose one missed fact, draw its equal groups, and explain a different way to find the product. Then practice that fact again with a teacher, partner, or on your own.
