Collaborative Learning

In Maths we have been working with a partner while learning a new method of multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. We had to give a partner a calculation to work out and they had to explain the working on their whiteboard. This allowed us to learn from each other and improve our knowledge.

Here is an example of what we were doing:

2 3

x 4

Units first: 3 x 4 = 12

Then the tens: 20 x 4 = 80

Finally add your two answers: 12 + 80 = 92

The best partner group was Iona and Lucy. Well done girls!
