Lisa's Surprise Visit

Programme Outline

 

Understanding that division is the inverse of multiplication

Lisa decides to make a surprise visit. Amber and Sam sneak out to meet her spaceship in a Dustbug, which is an all-terrain vehicle. While they wait they see a strange creature which seems to have 24 legs. They decide it must be a group of two legged creatures called bondals. They try to work out how many it would take to have 24 legs, and Numberella tells them that if they have a difficult division they can use multiplication to work it out, because multiplication and division are opposites. By counting in twos they realise they must have seen 12 bondals.
