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.
