Tuesday Session

Year 4

Today we are learning to use place value to solve multiplication problems. For example 6 x 14 = 6 x 10 (60) + 6 x 4 (24) = 84. Today I will introduce the concept with equipment and the follow-up task involves students drawing this equipment.
Get learning those times tables Year 4's!

Year 5/6

Today we are learning to multiply 2 digit numbers with 2 digit numbers in our heads. I call this strategy 'cross-products'. Check out the student's books, it is too hard to show you the strategy here. I will introduce it today using arrays.
Remember to spend some time on the deci-master!
