Multiplication and division are simply the opposites of each other. When you multiply something together you are taking individual numbers and creating more of something. How many in a group times how many groups of something is the end result. Division is the opposite really. It is taking that end result and dividing it back into smaller groups of smaller amounts.
Thinking of math in simple terms like this makes it easier to understand for third graders.
