Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Base ten blocks and 100s frames can represent multiples of ten.
  2. The symbol × means multiply or lots of.
  3. Any 3-digit multiples of ten can be written as a multiplication equation.

Keywords

Common misconception

Pupils may explain the relationship with multiples of 10 as 'adding a zero' (e.g. 37 x 10 = 370).

Pupils should be discouraged from doing this. Instead, explore place value, reminding pupils that each 100 represents 10 lots of ten.

Pupils may need to represent multiples of ten using base ten blocks or 10s counters and 'hundreds' frames.
