      Scale known multiplication facts by 10

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can use unitising and multiplying by 10 to scale multiplication facts.

      Key learning points

      1. If two groups of 4 are equal to 8 then two group of 4 tens is equal to 8 tens or 80
      2. By thinking of a number of 10s, you can scale up and work out the 20, 40 and 80 times tables
      3. By thinking of a number of 10s, you can scale up and work out ten times the 2, 4 and 8 times tables

      Keywords

      • Scale / scaling - Scaling is when a given quantity is made ___ times the size. In this lesson, scaling will involve making values 10 times the size.

      Common misconception

      Lack of fluency in multiplication facts and / or understanding of word problems. 'Adding a 0' at the end.

      Use language of unitisation to support pupils mathematical thinking. Clear modelling of steps in how to find the operation for the calculation. Use gattegno chart or place value chart to highlight scaling by 10.

      Teacher tip

      At this stage children should have secure knowledge of their 2s, 4s and 8 times tables. Choral chanting should be given at any opportunity.
