Multiplication and division - The 10 times table - Presentation

The educational presentation on the 10 times-table is a comprehensive resource aimed at enhancing students' fluency and reasoning skills in both multiplication and division. The lesson prompts students to recall and count in tens, starting with sequences like 40, 50, 60, and so on. Engaging activities are designed to solidify their understanding of the 10 times-table through practical examples. For instance, students may be asked to calculate the total number of pencils if there are 10 packs, reinforcing the concept that ten times any number gives the total amount. This method is applied to various scenarios, such as determining the total number of chips or books, by multiplying the number of groups by ten.

Further activities encourage students to think critically about multiplication facts involving the number ten. They compare quantities to determine which is greater or less and complete sentences that involve multiplying by ten to match given scenarios. Reasoning exercises challenge students to apply their knowledge to word problems, like calculating the distance Tia runs on sports day or deducing hidden Base 10 totals that are less than 100. Independent work sections invite learners to use visual representations to complete numerical sentences and write multiplication facts related to the ten times-table. Discussion prompts encourage further exploration of the concept, such as figuring out the number of crayon packs based on a total count of crayons and understanding the meaning of 'greater than' and 'less than' in the context of counting in tens.
