Beginning to Multiply - Worksheet

The "Beginning to Multiply" worksheet is a resource designed for primary school students to develop their understanding and skills in multiplication. It is part of a collection of Maths Teaching Resources provided by an educational website. The worksheet presents a straightforward task, asking students to create multiplication sentences that correspond to the totals given. This activity serves as an introduction to multiplication, helping students to recognise patterns and relationships between numbers as they begin to understand the concept of multiplying as repeated addition.

The worksheet is laid out with a series of numbered questions, each requiring the student to formulate a multiplication sentence. For example, if the question shows a total, the student must determine the factors that when multiplied together, result in that total. This helps to build foundational skills in mathematics, which are crucial for more complex arithmetic operations later on. Additionally, for those who require answers or confirmation of their work, there is a corresponding answer sheet available which provides the correct multiplication sentences for the totals listed in the questions. This allows both students and educators to check the accuracy of the completed work and to address any areas where further practice may be needed.
