Multiplication and division teacher instructions

The booklet provided is a comprehensive resource for Year 5 teachers to address the curriculum objectives related to Multiplication and Division. Each activity within the booklet is clearly aligned with specific learning objectives, which are indicated at the top of the activity pages. To ensure that teachers can cater to the varied learning styles and group dynamics within their classroom, the activities are marked with symbols to denote whether they are most appropriate for the whole class, small groups, or pairs. This allows for flexible and targeted teaching approaches.

Teachers have the discretion to incorporate these activities at different stages of their lessons. They can be utilised at the start of a lesson as a warm-up to recap previous knowledge or to assess students' understanding of prior learning. During the main part of the lesson, these activities serve as a focal point to strengthen new learning. Alternatively, they can be used towards the end of a lesson to evaluate students' progress. The activities are intended to complement the existing teaching materials and can be particularly beneficial for children in intervention groups who might require additional practice. Alongside the booklet, the KS2Gems website offers further resources such as Target Boards, Loop Cards, Four in Four exercises, and Times Tables support, to enrich the Multiplication and Division teaching framework for Year 5.
