Maths

Starter: Practising your short multiplication method

Reds: 2 or 3 digits x by 1 digit

Greens and Blues: 2 or 3 digits x by 1 or 2 digits

Watch the videos below as a reminder of how to use this method. 

The only thing to note about the videos is that when he is exchanging/carrying digits, he puts them above the columns rather than underneath. Don't let that confuse you!

Try these out:

Red:

3 x 54

64 x 4

27 x 5

Green:

18 x 7

5 x 293

18 x 26

Blue:

98 x 7

8 x 709

85 x 39

2947 x 34

Main Lesson: Fractions, decimals and percentages

Remember, any fraction out of 10 or 100 can be easily turned into a decimal or a percentage.
