Maths the Modern Way!! Multiplication and Division St Teresa’s Primary School Paul Hargreaves Primary Strategy Consultant – Mathematics Essex County Council
Total Recall! Select pairs of numbers from the target board on your table. Add these using one of the methods from last session. Will you use a number line? Will you partition and add mentally? Do you need to make jottings? BE BRAVE – try to avoid using the standard method! Now try with three numbers! Or try pairs of numbers and carry out a subtraction!
The Primary National Strategy • Basis of teaching since 1999 – based on extensive research and proven success • Daily entitlement to maths lesson • Key features • Progression carefully set out • Interactivity – use of models, images, games, practical activities • Focus on mental skills as well as written • Vocabulary, problem solving, communication, explanation and reasoning
There is no “right way” to work!! • Children exposed to a range of methods. • Methods selected will depend upon the situation and the numbers involved, including when to use calculators. • Children make decisions about methods and draw on a range of strategies and approaches when applying Maths is context. • Children in same class could be using different methods to others depending on their ability, confidence and stage of mathematical development.
The Importance of Vocabulary • Key to success in mathematics • Can be confusion between school and home • Children need opportunities in class and in homework to use mathematical vocabulary – games, collaborative work, open ended investigations
Mathematical Vocabulary Booklet • Guide to which words and phrases are introduced to each year group • Schools many make decisions regarding vocabulary • It is not a checklist • Check with children and teachers if there are unfamiliar words
Multiplication • Calculate the answer to this… 5 6 x 3
Did you do this? 5 6 x 3 1 6 8 1 Or did you use a mental method?Why did you choose the method you used?
Repeated Addition (Year 2/3) 5 added to 5 added to 5 5 + 5 + 5 3 lots of 5 5 x 3 3 x 5 Lots of practical experiences and use of number lines. Children will begin to use x and = signs.
Multiplication as an Array 2 x 4 = 8 4 lots of 2 = 8 4 x 2 = 8 2 lots of 4 = 8 Arrays are quite common – ice cube trays, egg boxes, chocolate boxes, medicine wrapping, tiles etc.
Multiplication by 10 7 x 10 = 70
Multiplication by 10 7 x 10 = 70
Multiplication by 10 7 x 10 = 70 BUT WE DIDN’T JUST ADD A 0!
Multiplication by 10 7 x 10 = 70 BUT WE DIDN’T JUST ADD A 0! 7 7.0 Both of these numbers are worth the same! 7 add a 0 is 7 + 0 = 7 We haven’t multiplied here!

Partitioning 15 x 5
Partitioning This is 10 x 5 and 5 x 5 added together. 10 x 5 = 50 5 x 5 = 25 50 + 25 = 75 15 x 5
Partitioning 36 x 4
Partitioning 36 x 4 36 x 4 is 30 x 4 and 6 x 4 added together. I know that 30 is three lots of 10, so 30 x 4 is 10 x 4 added to 10 x 4 added to 10 x 4. 10 x 4 = 40 10 x 4 = 40 10 x 4 = 40 6 x 4 = 24 40 + 40 + 40 + 24 = 144
Partitioning 36 x 4 36 x 4 is 30 x 4 added to 6 x 4 I know that 30 x 4 is 10 times bigger than 3 x 4 3 x 4 = 12, so 30 x 4 = 120 6 x 4 = 24 120 + 24 = 144
