Multiplication and Division - 1 and 12 times tables - Presentation

The lesson plan on multiplication and division is tailored for students to master the 11 and 12 times tables, leveraging their understanding of the 10 times table. The session begins with a discussion on multiples and encourages students to think about how to count in multiples of 11 and 12. Through a series of activities, learners are prompted to fill in the blanks to reinforce their knowledge of these times tables. For example, they explore the concept that 2 lots of 10 plus 2 lots of 1 is equivalent to 2 lots of 11, and they are asked to complete similar calculations. By using maths equipment, students build and record the 11 and 12 times tables, and then they apply what they've learned to solve multiplication problems, such as 4 x 11 and 4 x 12, further solidifying their understanding of these mathematical facts.

The plan includes an array of activities designed to engage students in reasoning and problem-solving. For instance, they are presented with real-world scenarios, like calculating the total number of crayons in multiple boxes, to apply their knowledge of the times tables in practical situations. They also explore patterns between the 11 and 12 times tables and are encouraged to think critically by spotting mistakes in representations, such as in a bar model for division. Independent work activities challenge students to use visual representations to complete multiplication questions and to reason about the multiplication and division facts that are unique to the 11 and 12 times tables. The lesson encourages students to partition numbers into tens and ones and to use their knowledge of simpler times tables to assist with multiplying by 11 and 12, enhancing their numerical fluency and reasoning skills.
