Intro to
Multiplication & Division

Multiplication and division are universal mathematical languages used to organize and understand the world around us. From a market vendor in Nairobi calculating the total cost of several bundles of grain to a scientist in London dividing a chemical sample into equal doses for testing, these operations are essential for efficiency and fairness. In a global context, multiplication allows us to scale up production and understand growth patterns, while division ensures the equitable distribution of resources and responsibilities. This lesson moves beyond simple counting to explore how we manage quantities in groups, providing the tools necessary for everything from global trade to daily problem-solving.
