Multipication and Division Teacher Instructions

The booklet provided is a comprehensive resource for Year 4 teachers, focusing on activities that support the learning objectives for Multiplication and Division. Each activity is clearly aligned with specific objectives, ensuring that the content is relevant and targeted. The booklet is thoughtfully designed, listing the necessary equipment and resources for each activity, and it uses intuitive symbols to indicate whether the activity is intended for the whole class, small groups, or pairs of students.

Teachers are afforded the flexibility to incorporate these activities into their lesson plans in a way that best suits the dynamics and requirements of their class. The activities can be utilized at various stages of a lesson: as a 'START' to warm up and assess prior knowledge, as the 'MAIN' activity to strengthen new learning, or towards the 'END' to gauge students' understanding and progress. These engaging activities serve as an enhancement to the school's existing educational materials and are particularly beneficial for children in intervention groups who may need additional practice. Alongside the activities in the booklet, the KS2Gems website also offers a selection of complementary resources, including Target Boards, Loop Cards, and Times Tables activities, to further support the teaching of Multiplication and Division in Year 4.
