Raksha Bandhan introduces multiplication and division through Gopal and Dhara making rakhis with flowers, threads and beads and buying laddoo boxes at Jagannath Sweet Shop. Students connect equal groups and repeated addition to multiplication (×), build multiplication tables using patterns and skip jumping, and explore equal sharing and grouping as division.

FAQ
How can you find 6 × 7 if you only know the tables of 5 and 2?
Split 7 into 5 + 2: find 6 × 5 = 30 and 6 × 2 = 12, then add 30 + 12 = 42.
How are multiplication and equal sharing related?
If 4 boxes of 5 laddoos make 20 laddoos (4 × 5 = 20), then sharing 20 laddoos into boxes of 5 gives 4 boxes.
