LI: Multiply
SC: I can.. x a 3 digit number by a single digit
I can… lay my work out correctly
This week in P5 we have been learning to multiply a 3 digit number by a single digit. We started by using concrete materials to see what was happening. Then we moved onto writing it out using the grid method. We used our estimating skills first to estimate what we thought the answer should be. This gave the children the opportunity to recap their estimating skills. By regularly revisiting our maths skills it gives the children the opportunity to see the links within maths and embed them allowing them to become confident individuals.
