Today we were doing our CLIC challenges. P4 were having trouble with the sum 48×7. Primary 5 realised that they knew a strategy called Coin Multiplication which would help them to do this sum.
Primary 5 taught P4 how to make the grid and then how to do coin multiplication. First of they showed the whole class and then they worked with 2 P4s to help them with some new grids.
Look at our photos.
Carmen thought it was good to have someone different from the teacher showing her something new.
Aimee thought that the P4s picked up the strategy quite quickly and it was easy to teach her peers.
Lorna thought that coin multiplication is much easier than doing it in your head as you have a grid to help you.images (1)
