Max Maths, Year 4, Work Book, Multiplying 2-digit numbers without regrouping

The Max Maths Workbook for Year 4 provides a structured approach to learning multiplication, specifically focusing on multiplying 2-digit numbers without the need for regrouping. Practice 2 in the workbook guides students through a series of exercises that begin with finding the total number of blocks represented in tens and ones. Students are presented with a number of problems where they multiply two numbers together, each laid out in a clear tens and ones format. This visual representation helps students understand the concept of place value and how it applies to multiplication.

Further exercises in the workbook encourage the use of the column method for multiplication, a systematic technique that aligns numbers by their place value. Students practice multiplying various 2-digit numbers by single-digit numbers, such as 21 times 3, and 11 times 6. These problems are designed to reinforce the multiplication skills without the complication of carrying over numbers, making it an ideal step for Year 4 students who are building their confidence in multi-digit multiplication. Additionally, the workbook includes an engaging activity where students find the products of given multiplications and then colour code the answers, offering a creative and interactive way to consolidate their learning and understanding of the multiplication process.
