When we compare lists of factors of two or more numbers, any factors that are the same are the common factors.

The distributive law says that multiplying a number by a group of numbers added together is the same as doing each multiplication separately.

Use knowledge of the distributive law to solve problems in different contexts

 In this unit pupils will use knowledge of the distributive law to calculate products beyond known times tables facts and relate this to partitioning one of the factors. In the future unit pupils will explain the relationship between multiplying a number by 10 and multiples of 10. 

In the prior unit pupils explained how each part of a multiplication and division equation related to a story. They partitioned one of the factors in a multiplication equation in different ways using representations. In this unit pupils will use knowledge of the distributive law to calculate products beyond known times tables facts and relate this to partitioning one of the factors.

Apply the distributive law to multiplication

Partitioning is the act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.

A partial product is any of the multiplication results we get leading up to an overall multiplication result.
