About this worksheet

A multiplicative comparison says one amount is a number of times as big as another, such as 5 times as many stickers. Each sheet has six separate questions, and your child writes each answer after the question. Some questions find the bigger amount, some the smaller one, and one asks how many times as many.

What your child will learn

Find an amount that is k times as many
Find the smaller amount by dividing
Find how many times as many one amount is

Common Core standard: 4.OA.A.1

Worked example

Ben has 8 stickers and Mia has 5 times as many, so Mia has 8 × 5 = 40.

Common mistake

Adding the numbers (8 + 5) instead of multiplying them.

Helpful hint

'k times as many' means multiply by k; to go back to the smaller amount, divide by k.
