Monday

LO: To solve one-step problems involving multiplication by calculation the answer using concrete objects 

X means:

multiply

groups of

lots of

times 

Find some objects in your house to help you find the answer to the multiplication questions below.

e.g 1x2= you will need 2 cubes as it is 1 group of 2 so the answer is 2

3 x2= you will need groups with 2 cubes in each so 6 cubes all together

Questions:

4 x2 =                  9x2 =        8 x 2= 

7 x2 =                  6 x 2=       0 x2= 

5 x2=                   2x2 =        10 x 2= 

Tuesday 

LO: To solve one-step problems involving multiplication, by calculation the answer using pictorial representations. 

Today we are going to use pictures to help us multiply. Look at the example below. 

We needed 3 pairs of shoes because each pair is made up of 2.

So 3 groups of 2 equals 6.

Now try answering the questions below by drawing the correct amount of shoes and working out the answer by counting in 2 ( as we are multiplying by 2).

2 x2=        3 x2 =         1x 2 = 

4 x4 =       7 x 2=          5 x2 = 

6 x2 =      10 x 2=         0 x 2= 

Wednesday

LO: To solve one-step problems involving multiplication by calculation the answer using arrays with the support of a teacher.

Look at the example below on how to multiply using arrays.

As you can see from the example we need to have 2 dots in each group (as we are multiplying by 2) and then depending on the amount we are multiplying by we need that number of groups.

Have a go at the questions below by drawing the arrays yourself.

2 x2=        3 x2 =         1x 2 = 

4 x4 =       7 x 2=          5 x2 = 

6 x2 =      10 x 2=         0 x 2= 

Thursday 

LO: To solve one-step problems involving multiplication, by calculation the answer using pictorial representations. 

Today we are going to be multiplying by 5 using pictures to help us. 

Look at the example below. 

The example show 3 groups of hands. We have 5 fingers on each hand so that is 3 groups of 5. You can use the number line to count on 5s to find the answer.

3 x5 = 15 

Now have a go at the questions below by drawing out the hands and counting how many fingers on each hand. Try counting in 5s to work out the answer.

2 x 5 =         9 x 5=        0 x 5 = 

4 x  5 =       1 x 5  =      7 x 5 =

10 x 5 =      6 x  5=       8 x 5= 

Friday 

 LO: To solve one-step problems involving multiplication by calculation the answer using arrays with the support of a teacher. 

Today we are using arrays to multiply by 5. Look at the example below.

As you can see from the example we need to have 5 dots in each group (as we are multiplying by 5) and then depending on the amount we are multiplying by we need that number of groups.

Have a go at the questions below by drawing the arrays yourself.

2 x5=        3 x5 =         1x 5 = 

4 x5 =       7 x 5=          5 x5 = 

6 x5 =      10 x 5=         0 x 5=
