      Multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number using partitioning and representations (two regroups)

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can use partitioning and place value equipment to represent multiplication.

      Key learning points

      1. Place value resources can be used to represent multiplication of a 2-digit by a 1-digit number.
      2. Regroup from the ones to the tens if the product of the tens is greater than 10
      3. Regroup from the tens to the hundreds if the product of the tens is greater than 100

      Keywords

      • Product - The result of two or more numbers multiplied together.

      • Regrouping - The process of unitising and exchanging between place values.

      Common misconception

      Pupils may not regroup correctly.

      Encourage pupils to use the stem sentences / array to identify when they may need to regroup.

      Teacher tip

      Allow pupils plenty of opportunities to sketch grid models for themselves to represent a range of equations.
