Unit J – Threes and Fours
This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to learn and recall the number facts in the three and four times tables to utilise when solving abstract and contextual problems involving multiplication and division calculations. The class can build number arrays to support calculating each multiplication product.
Learn and recall the number facts in the three and four times tables to utilise when solving abstract and contextual problems involving multiplication and division calculations
Lesson One : Number Towers
Practise counting and recording in different groups of threes to calculate the matching number products in the three multiplication table
Lesson Two : Robots
Explore and record how to use repeated addition to solve number problems in the three multiplication table when calculating jobs that robots can perform in a family home
Lesson Three : Dividing Threes
Explain and model how to use bar models to illustrate and record how to divide numbers into equal groups of three when working with facts in the three multiplication tables
Lesson Four : Counting Fours
Investigate and record how to work with number arrays to match each of the different calculations and number products in the four multiplication table
Lesson Five : Spaceship
Practise solving a range of number problems using calculations in the four multiplication table to find the numbers of things that might be carried or used on a spaceship
