Topic: Multiplication

Introduction

This week we will be focusing on multiplication. We will learn the 2, 5, and 10 times tables, and practice multiplying numbers up to 12 × 12.

By the end of this week, you should be able to recall and use multiplication facts for the 2, 5, and 10 times tables.

Learning Objectives

  • Recall and use multiplication facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers
  • Calculate mathematical statements for multiplication within the multiplication tables and write them using the multiplication (×) and equals (=) signs
  • Show that multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative)
  • Solve problems, including missing number problems, involving multiplication and division, including positive integer scaling problems and correspondence problems in which n objects are connected to m objects

Remember that multiplication is repeated addition. For example, 3 × 4 means 4 + 4 + 4.
Use arrays or groups to help visualize multiplication. For example, 2 rows of 5 apples make 10 apples.
Practice your times tables regularly. You can use songs, games, or flashcards to help remember them.
