Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Multi-Step Multiply & Divide means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: Small counters or grid paper; Paper and pencil. Adult models 3 × 4 as three groups of four, then writes the product. Child builds three multiplication examples as equal groups and records each product. Done: three correct products with groups matching the writing. Stop after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

A stamp-collection story supports multi-step multiply and divide thinking. Not every single-step fact quiz.
Free, no sign-in. A teacher solution is on the same page, so use the student view with your child.

Source, access and review notes
Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-12 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.

Check understanding
- Solve a scaling problem (e.g. 'the ribbon is 3 times as long')
- Solve a correspondence problem (e.g. '4 shirts and 3 trousers — how many outfits?')
- Solve a missing-number multiplication or division problem
“If a recipe for 4 people needs 3 eggs, can your child work out how many eggs are needed for 8 people — recognising it as a doubling or scaling problem?”
