Multiplication and division - Consolidate 2, 4 and 8 times tables - Worksheet

The worksheet provided aims to consolidate the understanding of the 2, 4, and 8 times tables, which are vital components of the National Curriculum objectives for mathematics. The resources required for this lesson include differentiated sheets for varying levels of ability and teaching slides to guide the instructional process. The vocabulary highlighted for this lesson includes multiplication, times tables, and bar model, which are key terms that children will become familiar with throughout the activities. Students will use worksheets to practice these times tables, with the help of bar models, pictorial representations, and exercises involving missing numbers to deepen their understanding.

The exercises are designed to challenge students at different levels of proficiency. For those working towards the expected level, the worksheet provides bar models to help them visualize the multiplication process. Students working at the expected level will need to complete the bar models and tackle more complex missing numbers, while those aiming for greater depth will create their own bar models and work with times tables beyond the 12 times table. Key questions encourage students to think about alternative methods for figuring out unknown times tables, to understand the relationship between multiplying by 2, 4, and 8, and to determine missing numbers in calculations. The worksheet also includes reasoning and problem-solving tasks to further enhance students' fluency and precision with these fundamental numerical operations.
