🔢 Maths 🔢 – 30 minutes
Learning Intention: We are learning to understand multiplication as equal groups, arrays, repeated addition and skip counting.
Success Criteria – I can:
- Understand how to ‘read’ a multiplication sum. (3 x 4 = 12, “3 groups of 4 is 12”)
- Make equal groups or arrays to match a multiplication sum.
- Write the repeated addition sum to match the sum.
- Skip count to work out the answer.
- Understand that the numbers in a multiplication sum can be ‘swapped over’ ( eg:3 x 4 = 4 x 3) and use ‘commutative property’ to help me work out the answer. (Know one, know the other)
Warm up – Multiplication: Give me 5
Please see the example below for how to fill out the ‘Give me 5’ sheet:
