Key Knowledge

I need to know...


Basic Facts






I
know
doubles
to
20





e.g. 6+6=12












I know
the 2,
5 & 10x

tables
and
related

division facts

















I know the
multiplication

facts up
to 10x
tables
and the

Key Strategies for solving multiplication and division problems

I could choose from...

Grouping / Place Value

Skip-counting

I
know
how
many
10s



are in numbers
to 100

Stg 4

I can skip-count

to







solve multiplication





















problems











Using what we know about addition & subtraction or known multiplication facts

I know how many

2s are

I can use
repeated

in numbers to 20, 5s
are in numbers to 50

addition to solve
multiplication problems
e.g. 3x3 = 3+3+3

Stg 5
I know how many 10s
are in 3 digit numbers
e.g. 34 in 342

I know how many
2s, 3s,

5s, 10s are in numbers

to 100

I can solve division

problems by counting
equal groups

related division facts

I can use arrays to

solve multiplication
problems e.g.
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
3x3 = 9

I can work out

multiplication facts
from what I know
about 2s, 5s, 10s

I can solve division

problems by making
equal shares

Working out the answers using known facts and mental strategies











I can solve
unknown


I can solve
unknown



I can change
the order
of
it
facts by doubling


facts by
+ / - on
to
numbers
to make

known
facts

known facts e.g


easier (reversing)
e.g. 4x6 = 2x (2x6)

7x3 = (5x3)+(2x3)

I can use doubling &

halving or trebling &
thirding e.g. 3x12 =
6x6 or 3x12 = 9x4

I can solve x problems

by adding or taking off
(compensation) e.g.
5x19 = (5x20) -5
) e.g.

e.g. 639 9x?=63

Stg 6
I know how to multiply
basic facts with tens,
hundreds, thousands
e.g. 3x40=120

I know how many

groups of 10 and 100
are in 4 digit numbers

I can solve division

problems using known
multiplication facts
