Max Maths, Year 3, Try it, Review multiplying by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10

In the Max Maths programme for Year 3, students are encouraged to review and practice their multiplication skills with a 'Let's Try It' activity. The first task asks pupils to calculate the total number of books by multiplying the number of stacks by the number of books in each stack. This simple multiplication exercise helps students to understand that multiplication is a method of finding the total number in equal groups. After completing the multiplication, students can determine the total number of books in all stacks combined.

The second task focuses on finding the total number of nuts. Students are presented with several groups of nuts and are instructed to multiply the number of groups by the number of nuts in each group. This reinforces the concept that multiplication can be used for quick and efficient counting of items that are arranged in equal sets. The activity serves as a practical application of multiplying by numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10. To further their practice, students are directed to workbook pages 112 to 117, where they can find additional exercises and problems to help solidify their understanding of basic multiplication.
