P2 have been learning the new skill of multiplication. They worked with partners using materials and were able to create equal sets and record their sums. They could even find answers like 7×6 & 9×4! Now that is impressive… maths geniuses! Soon they will begin to learn times tables & use their new knowledge to solve problems.
