Today Primary 5 worked on understanding their seven times table by getting very messy!  Their task was to quickly show the meaning of several seven times table sums by creating an array of dots using a variety of media (the clock was ticking!). This also helped us demonstrate exactly how multiplication sums could be turned around so that 3 x 7 became 7 x 3 and 6 x 7 became 7 x 6 and so on. Speedy work Primary 5!
