               Understanding Word Problems


                     Word problems use real-life situations where multiplication or division
                       is needed to solve them.
                     Multiplication helps find the total when there are equal groups.
                     Division helps find how many items go in each group or how many
                       groups can be formed.


               Key Terms in Multiplication and Division


               Multiplication Terms:


                    Multiplier – The number of times we multiply.
                    Multiplicand – The number being multiplied.
                    Product – The total answer after multiplication.

               Division Terms:


                    Dividend – The total number to be divided.
                    Divisor – The number of groups or the number we divide by.
                    Quotient – The result or answer after division.


               Steps to Solve Word Problems:


                  I.   Read the problem carefully and understand the given numbers.
                 II.   Identify if multiplication or division is needed to solve it.
                 III.   Form the equation using × or ÷.
                IV.    Write statements.
                 V.    Solve the problem, write conclusion sentence and check the answer
                       using the reverse operation.
