We are learning to explore how the 4 times-tables are built up and can discuss the patterns within it.

• I can build up and record the 4 times-table in several different ways.
• I can generate the 4 times-table by doubling the 2 times-table.
• I can recite my 4 times-table.
• I can recall individual multiplication facts in my 4 times-table.

This week in our Maths group we have been exploring the four times table.

In Number Talks we have been discussing different strategies for multiplying numbers, these have included known facts, doubling and repeated addition. We think that doubling is an efficient strategy when multiplying numbers by 2 and 4.

We used Sum Dog to develop accuracy with our 4 times tables, we make Halloween arrays and we completed written problem solving activities.

Help at home: 

• help us recite the 4 times table
• ask us questions from the 4 times table
• ask us to double numbers
• complete the homework task
• take part in the Sum Dog x4 challenge
