🔢Maths🔢 – 30 minutes

Learning Intention: 

We are learning to understand multiplication as equal groups, arrays, repeated addition and skip counting.

Warm up –

If your child is struggling with 3 digits, just use 2 cards and make 2 digit numbers. Alternatively, if your child is finding 3 digits easy, give them 4 cards to make 4 digit numbers. 👍

Independent Task:

Watch the video below to revise what is meant by ‘repeated addition’ and how this links to multiplication.

Multiplication: Give me 5

Last week in our learning about multiplication in maths we practised making ‘groups of’, arrays and writing the repeated addition sum to match the equation. This week we are also learning how skip counting can also help us to work out the answer to multiplication sums.  

Please see the example below for how to fill out the ‘Give me 5’ sheet:

Grade 1: Give me 5

Use two dice if you have some or choose 2 numbers that are 6 and under (but not 0 or 1). Use the image below as a guide to draw up 4 boxes to record your work and remember to write the equation in the middle of the page. (Put it in a plastic pocket so you can use it over and over). Practise 3 – 4  equations. 

Grade 2: Give me 5

Use two dice if you have some or choose 2 numbers tto 10 (but not 0 or 1). Use the image below as a guide to draw up 4 boxes to record your work and remember to write the equation in the middle of the page. (Put it in a plastic pocket so you can use it over and over). Practise 3 – 4 equations. 

🤩Big Life GEM Activities🤩
