Multiplication and division - Multiply two digits by one digit 1 - Worksheet

The worksheet in question is designed to help Year 6 students master the skill of multiplying two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division, focusing on two-digit numbers multiplied by one-digit numbers, using both mental strategies and formal written methods. Students are encouraged to use differentiated sheets and teaching slides provided as resources to aid their learning.

Key vocabulary for the lesson includes terms such as multiplication, repeated addition, formal method, partitioning, calculations, and representation. The students begin by using their understanding of repeated addition to represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a one-digit number using concrete manipulatives. They learn to use the formal method of column multiplication in conjunction with concrete representations and apply partitioning to represent and solve calculations. The worksheet challenges students to use place value counters to complete multiplication calculations without exchange, and they are also tasked with filling in blanks to solve problems using a place value chart. The lesson aims to strengthen the students' fluency and precision in multiplication, while also developing their reasoning and problem-solving skills.
