Multiplication

Primary 2/3 have been learning about multiplication this week and have been working very hard to complete multiplication calculations. The Circles, Triangles and Squares have been creating repeated addition calculations using Numicon and then working out the related multiplication fact and the Rectangles have been using concrete materials to create equal groups to help them answer multiplication calculations. Look below at our work and what the children had to say about their learning;

Riley – the ‘x’ means times
Olivia – the ‘x’ replaces the words ‘groups of’
Oscar – the groups need to be the same number
Erik – the one times table is the same number that you multiply by
Eve – another word for times is groups of
Tommy – you have to have all the same numbers in each group
Jessica – It is the same as repeated addition
Daisy – all of the answers in the two times table are even
