Lesson One – Table Multiplication

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise using diagrams to model how to multiply a selection of four digits by one digit numbers to produce a range of different products.

The class can explain and record how to partition the numbers in each sum into their thousands, hundreds, tens and ones to make them easier to multiply by a one digit number.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise using diagrams to model how to multiply a selection of four digits by one digit numbers to produce a range of different products

Activities in this teaching pack include a template to record how to use diagrams to model how to multiply four digits by one digit numbers by the place value of the digits (enlarge to A3) and a set of cards to select ones, tens, hundreds and thousands to use when completing each multiplication calculation.

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.
