Apply the distributive law to multiplication

5 lessons

Threads

  • Number
  • Number: Multiplication and division

This unit explores the use of common factors in two-part problems to solve them efficiently. Pupils identify when there is a common factor and they can apply the distributive law and when there isn’t. They also use the strategy to break down a factor in order to calculate products beyond their times table knowledge. This informal mental strategy will underpin more formal methods of multiplication in the future.

  1. Use knowledge of the distributive law to solve two part problems
  2. Use knowledge of the distributive law to solve further two-part problems
  3. Use knowledge of the distributive law to calculate products using known times tables
  4. Use knowledge of the distributive law to calculate products beyond known times tables
  5. Use knowledge of the distributive law to solve problems in different contexts
