Multiplication and Division - 9 times tables and division facts - Presentation

In a comprehensive set of teaching slides, students are encouraged to deepen their understanding of the 9 times table and its corresponding division facts. The lesson begins with a simple question that links multiplication to division, asking students to find the division fact for a given multiplication example, such as 9 x 5 = 45. This sets the stage for a series of engaging activities designed to strengthen fluency and reasoning skills in relation to the 9 times table. Students are prompted to explore the patterns and relationships between the 9 times table and the 10 times table, identifying similarities and differences that can aid in memorisation and conceptual understanding.

Subsequent activities challenge students to identify missing numbers in the 9 times table sequence and to circle the multiples of 9 from a given set of numbers, reinforcing their ability to recognise and work with these key numerical facts. Furthermore, students are tasked with using their knowledge of the 9 times table to fill in missing values in various multiplication equations, fostering a deeper grasp of the concept. The lesson also includes reasoning exercises that require students to use symbols and numbers to complete calculations, as well as creative problem-solving where they must deduce secret numbers based on given sums and products. This comprehensive approach not only builds mathematical fluency but also encourages students to apply their knowledge in a variety of contexts, enhancing their overall number sense and problem-solving abilities.
