  • Number: Multiplication and division

Pupils in this unit apply their understanding of factors and multiples to find common factors and multiples of two or more numbers. They use their knowledge of properties of numbers to solve problems including using factor pairs of numbers, including 100, along with understanding of the commutative and associative laws to simplify calculations and work efficiently. This work will be developed in the future when pupils look at using equivalence to calculate.
