Explain how each part of a multiplication and division equation relates to a story

Maths

Explain what each factor represents in a multiplication equation

Explain where zero can be part of a multiplication or division expression and the impact it has

Partition one of the factors in a multiplication equation using representations

Explain which is the most efficient factor to partition to solve a multiplication problem

In this unit pupils will explain how each part of a multiplication and division equation relates to a story. They will partition one of the factors in a multiplication equation in different ways using representations. In the future unit pupils will use knowledge of distributive law to calculate products beyond known times tables facts.

In the prior unit pupils represented counting in sevens as the 7x table. They also explored odd and even patterns in times tables and identified square numbers. In this unit pupils will explain how each part of a multiplication and division equation relates to a story. They will partition one of the factors in a multiplication equation in different ways using representations.
