Multiply tenths with whole numbers
I can use known multiplication facts and unitising to multiply tenths with whole numbers.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- There are 10 tenths in one whole.
- Unitising can help to multiply tenths by whole numbers.
- Multiplication of tenths can be represented as repeated addition of tenths.
- ‘___ times ___ ones is equal to ___ ones so ___ times ___ tenths is equal to ___ tenths’ supports us to multiply tenths.
Common misconception
Children may incorrectly write the amount of tenths e.g. 49 tenths may be written as 0.49
There are ten tenths in one whole. So e.g. 49 tenths is composed of 4 ones and 9 more tenths. We write this as 4.9
