Multiply By Ten - PowerPoint

In a set of engaging maths teaching resources aimed at Year 2 students, the focus is on mastering the concept of multiplication, specifically multiplying by 10. The lesson introduces the idea that multiplying by 10 creates groups of ten, using visual aids such as ladybirds to illustrate this point. For instance, two groups of ten ladybirds equate to 20 ladybirds in total, which is represented by the multiplication sentence 2 x 10 = 20. This foundational skill is further reinforced through a series of multiplication sentences that demonstrate the pattern of results when various numbers are multiplied by 10, starting from 0 x 10 = 0, indicating no groups of ten, to 12 x 10 = 120, showing twelve groups of ten.

Key tips are provided to help students remember important aspects of multiplying by 10, such as the fact that all answers in the x 10 table are even numbers and end in 0. It also highlights that when any number is multiplied by 10, all digits move one place to the left, and when multiplied by 0, the answer is always 0. To apply their knowledge, students are encouraged to answer multiplication questions on subsequent slides and worksheets. One such activity includes a 'Multiply by Ten Worksheet' where students fill in the multiplication sentences, and another is a classroom chain game where students identify the number that needs to be multiplied by 10 to reach a given answer. The resources also provide flashcards with multiplication sentences, which can be used for quick recall and practice.
