Questions for this session

How do we teach children their times tables? What are the mental strategies for multiplication and division? How do we teach written multiplication and division now? What can we do to support at home?

Wednesday, 13 March 13

Multiplication Facts
Do we still need them? Should they still be taught in schools? What if my child finds them really tricky?

What does 4 x 3 mean?

Wednesday, 13 March 13

Using Numicon

In this approach we introduce times in the way children learn tables so they would read this as 4 times a 3.

Wednesday, 13 March 13

Using a 100 square. Looking for patterns.

How do we know that a number is in ... the 2x table? the 5 times table? the 9 times table?

Wednesday, 13 March 13

1x9=9 2 x 9 = 18 3 x 9 = 27 4 x 9 = 36 5 x 9 = 45 6 x 9 = 54 7 x 9 = 63 8 x 9 = 72 9 x 9 = 81 10 x 9 = 90

The language of x tables

Lets consider 6 x 3 =

How would we say that?

16

The language of x tables

Lets consider 6 x 3 = 6 times 3 6 lots of 3 6 multiplied by 3 the product of 6 and 3 6 groups of 3

Wednesday, 13 March 13

Pictures of x tables
Lets consider 6 x 3 = 6 groups of 3 6 lots of 3
Or 1 lot of 3 = 3
