"Double-Checking Division Answers With Corresponding Multiplication Problems" is a worksheet that features multiple division problems in small boxes. Each box contains a single division problem with a long division bracket. The box also contains instructions for students to check their work by rewriting the division problem as a multiplication problem. Some worksheets also write the division problem at the bottom of each box with a blank where students fill in the answer, enabling them to associate division problems with their corresponding multiplication problems.

Students build a deeper understanding of mathematical operations when they are able to see how they are related to each other. With that understanding, they can more confidently solve problems and double-check their work.

For example, very young children can rewrite simple addition problems as subtraction problems, like 4 + 5 = 9 and 9 - 4 = 5. Older students can do the same with multiplication and division problems, like 49 ÷ 7 = 7 and 7 x 7 = 49.

This makes learning facts easier, but it can also help students more confidently approach complex problems. For example, if a student is struggling to find the answer to 108 ÷ 9, they can think about what number they could multiply by 9 to get 108 instead.
