Multiplication
This week your focus will be all areas of multiplication. Before multiplying harder numbers and applying your fluency skills to word problems you must practice your timestables. Knowing your timestables well, will make working out answers easier and quicker!
Task 1: Timestables practice.
- Use timestables rockstars to help increase your speed and confidence!
- Try out some of the booklets below
- Watch and join in on timestables videos https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/times-table-collection/z4vv6v4
- Recite your timestables outloud or in written form
Task 2: Multiply 2 digit numbers by a 1 digit number
Use your timetables knowledge to help solve multiplication problems. Remember to start with the ones first, you must multiply each number. Just like we learnt to do in school, write your working out in the brackets!
EXAMPLE:
28 x 3 =
2 8
x 3
2 4 (8 x 3)
6 0 (20 x 3)
8 4 (24 + 60)

4) 91 x 2 =
5) 56 x 7 =
