Common misconception
Pupils may be very quick to try and use a written method such as columns here, particularly as the numbers get larger.
Encourage the children to refrain and reward them taking risks and avoiding using written methods as much as possible. Prove to them that it's quicker to do it in your head or with jottings by racing your fastest 'columns ' exponent!
