Max Maths, Year 3, Learn together, Review multiplying by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 (4)

In an engaging lesson from the Max Maths Year 3 curriculum, students revisit and consolidate their understanding of multiplication by recounting groups of items. The lesson begins with a practical counting exercise where the children are presented with images of mugs arranged in groups of four. This visual aid helps the students to count in multiples of four and to see the concept of multiplication as repeated addition in a real-world context.

Building on this hands-on approach, the lesson then shifts to a review of multiplication facts for the number four. Students are encouraged to recall and recite the times table for four, starting from one and going up to ten. The multiplication facts are presented in a clear and systematic format, making it easy for the students to follow and memorise. For example, starting with 1 × 4 = 4 and moving through the sequence up to 10 × 4 = 40, the students reinforce their understanding of how multiplication works and gain confidence in their ability to quickly access these key mathematical facts.
