Maths Starter
Complete Q1-10 of the Rigour Maths Challenge. The Pyramids and Cubes should attempt the 2nd level questions and the Spheres should attempt the 1st Level ones. Answers will be posted on Seesaw during the afternoon.
Main Lesson
We are going to start off this morning with some multiplication maths work. You are going to learn a way of writing calculations for multiplying 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers.This method is called the grid method.
- Watch the teaching video below (up to 2:11):

2. Attempt the following calculations using the Grid Method (Use your Jotter to show your working):
a) 6 x 18 = b) 4 x 65 = c) 8 x 37 = d) 5 x 124 =
Use the multiplication grid if you require support.
Coin Checks (can be played individually or with 2-4 players)
You will need:
- 1–9 number cards, (create your own)
- coins (£1, 10p and 1p)
- Shuffle the cards and place them face down in a pile.
- One person take a handful of 10p and 1p coins and counts them, e.g. 73p. Another person takes a number card, e.g. 4.
- Each child writes down the multiplication, e.g. 4 × 73p. Make an estimate, then multiply using the grid method.
- Use the coins to check by collecting 4 lots of 70p and 4 lots of 3 × 1p, combining and exchanging for £1 and 10p coins where necessary.
- Compare the answer with your estimates. Repeat several times. Extend to multiplying 3-digit numbers and introduce £1 coins.
