Aims – By the end of the Aims – By the end of the session you will…session you will…Understand the need for a

consistent approach to written calculations

Have had opportunities to practice multiplication and division from YR-Y6

Apply calculation methods to questions and consider how best to support children

ContextContextSome children at BJR get a lot of support

at home, others get noneMethods and strategies taught at home

can be different from those taught at school

Some children find it difficult to apply home learning to school

This can lead to a great deal of confusion ESPECIALLY in Y5 and 6

Division and Multiplication are areas which cause the most confusion

Resources: small world play, role play, counters, cubes, pairs of socks/gloves etc, models and images

Multiplication Y1Multiplication Y1

Doubling numbers e.g. 5 + 5 = 10.Say things like, “What is double 4?”The ‘X’ symbol is then introduced.5 x 2 = 10

Multipication Y1/2Multipication Y1/2

Arrays are used to show multiplication in a pictorial form. 4 x 3 = 12 or 3 x 4 = 12

This also illustrates repeated addition because 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

Multiplication Y2/3Multiplication Y2/3

Update this page

Repeated addition along a number line: 6x4= 24

Children need to learn multiplication facts up to 10x 10 to make this process quicker.
