  • Number: Multiplication and division

In this unit, pupils look in depth at how multiplication equations relate to the situations and problems they represent. Pupils explain what each factor in an equation represents both in multiplication and division contexts. They partition one of the factors in a multiplication equation and consider the most efficient way to apply this to solve problems. This will lead to work on the distributive law which underpins partitioning strategies for multiplication and division.

  1. Explain what each factor represents in a multiplication equation
  2. Explain how each part of a multiplication and division equation relates to a story
  3. Explain where zero can be part of a multiplication or division expression and the impact it has
  4. Partition one of the factors in a multiplication equation using representations
  5. Explain which is the most efficient factor to partition to solve a multiplication problem
