Max Maths, Year 3, Work Book, Multiplying by teen numbers

In the Max Maths workbook for Year 3, one of the exercises focuses on enhancing the pupils' skills in multiplying by teen numbers. This particular practice, 'Multiplying by teen numbers', aims to help students understand and apply their knowledge of multiplication to calculate the total number of blocks presented in the exercise. Students are presented with visual representations of blocks divided into tens and ones, which they must multiply by a given teen number to find the total quantity.

The exercise is structured to reinforce the concept of place value as well. Students are encouraged to break down the teen number into tens and ones before multiplying, which helps them to visualise and better comprehend the multiplication process.

This practice not only strengthens their multiplication skills but also consolidates their understanding of the base-ten number system, which is fundamental to various aspects of mathematics.
