For number, we are working to use the Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract, Language method to develop our multiplication skills.

We started by using the Cuisenaire rods to create a 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication sum. We worked to multiply the tens and units and then put the some together using our whiteboards.

Then we created a pictorial representation of the sums in our jotters.

We will be using this method to understand 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication in the coming weeks.
