The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use diagrams to model how to multiply four digits by one digit numbers.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify and use the correct calculation steps needed to solve problems when multiplying numbers using informal and formal layouts to multiply by one and two digit numbers. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
