Main Task: Multiplying by a Multiple of 10

02.04.20         Multiplying by a Multiple of 10

I can use my knowledge of table facts and multiplying by ten, a hundred or a thousand to work out new facts.

 

Activity 1: Times Tables

I have set a Sumdog Times Table Challenge for you all.  Your target is 50 correct answers but you only have 1 day to complete it!

Activity 2: Multiply by a multiple of 10

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/znj7hyc/articles/zntc7nb

Let’s use what we practised last week to help us multiply by a multiple of 10.

e.g.         4×5 = 20

so 40x 5 = 200 because it is ten times more.

🌶

1) 80 x 2 =
2) 90 x 3=
3) 50 x 8 =
4) 90 x 5 =
5) 20 x 6 =

🌶🌶

6) 80 x __ =320
7) __ x 70 =350
8) __ x 60 = 180
9) 70 x __ = 560
10) __ x 70 = 210

Activity 3: Multiply by a multiple of 100

Well done now let’s get a bit harder:

e.g          4×5 = 20

so…        400 x5 = 2,000 because you multiply 4×5 by 100.

🌶

1. 3 x 200 =
2. 400 x 6 =
3. 600 x 9 =
4. 4 x 800 =
5. 700 x5 =

🌶🌶

6. 3 x ______ = 2,100
7. __ x 400 = 2,000
8. _____ x 9 = 7,200
9. 400 x ___ = 1,200
10. 600 x ___ = 1,800

Traffic Light today’s work and leave a comment to say how you found multiplying by a multiple of 10.

 

Extension:

🌶🌶🌶

Got it? Try these questions which are a mix of multiplying by 10, 100 and 1,000.  Remember when you multiply by 1,000 all your digits move 3 places to the left on your place value chart.

e.g. 4,000 x 5

4 x 5 = 20

So…        4,000 x 5 = 20,000.

 

Mrs McLeod sent me a message yesterday to say that J.K.Rowling has launched a new ‘Harry Potter at Home’ site to keep everyone busy whilst we are staying home.  There are lots of activities from art lessons, news articles, quizzes and puzzles.  For example, there is a quiz all about The Philosopher’s Stone.  Since we have all read this why don’t you take the quiz and see how much you remember about the story (not to boast but I scored 10/10!). 🧙🏼‍♂️✨
