Multiplication and Division (1) - Multiply by 100 - Worksheet

The "Multiply by 100" worksheet is a comprehensive tool for Year 6 students to enhance their understanding of multiplication and place value. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to use place value knowledge, along with known and derived facts, to multiply and divide mentally. The worksheet is designed to help students build on their skills of multiplying by 10 and discover the connections between multiplying by 10 and 100. To facilitate learning, the worksheet provides differentiated sheets, teaching slides, and Base 10 resources.

Students are encouraged to use place value counters and Base 10 to explore the changes in the value of digits when multiplying by 100. This hands-on approach helps them to identify a rule, allowing them to move away from concrete representations. The worksheet contains a variety of activities, from fluency and precision exercises to reasoning and problem-solving challenges. Key questions prompt students to think critically about the process of multiplying by 100 and its practical applications. For example, they compare the multiplication of single and two-digit numbers by 10 and 100, and they use their knowledge to correct and explain any conversion errors made when changing metres to centimetres. This worksheet not only solidifies their arithmetic skills but also their understanding of measurement conversions.
