The worksheet provides a structured approach to mastering multiplication of two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers without the need for exchanging. Aimed at enhancing fluency and precision, the National Curriculum objective is to write and calculate multiplication and division mathematical statements for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, starting with mental methods and progressing to formal written methods. To support this learning, resources such as differentiated sheets, teaching slides, and Base 10 equipment are suggested. The key vocabulary includes terms like multiplication, repeated addition, and partition, which are crucial for understanding the process.

Students begin by exploring the multiplication of two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers using practical equipment and the technique of partitioning, which involves breaking down numbers into tens and ones. The worksheet prompts students with key questions about partitioning and its application in multiplication. For example, they are asked to partition the number 32 and determine the number of times it needs to be repeated. The activities are designed to cater to different levels of understanding, with some students using pictorial images to guide them, while others are expected to select the correct equipment independently. In addition to calculating given problems, students are also challenged to arrange digit cards to find the largest and smallest possible totals and to determine how many different totals they can create. The worksheet includes both the tasks and the answers to facilitate learning and assessment.
