Max Maths, Year 5, Try it, Multiplication review(1)

The "Max Maths, Year 5" resource offers a comprehensive review of multiplication through an interactive and visually engaging task. The activity is designed to help students identify and categorize multiples of numbers from 2 to 10 using a 100-square grid. Each multiple is marked with a different symbol to aid in recognition and differentiation. For example, students are instructed to underline the multiples of 2, which are even numbers, and circle the multiples of 3, which are numbers that can be divided evenly by 3. Additionally, they tick the multiples of 4 and place an 'X' through the multiples of 5, which typically end in 0 or 5.

Continuing with the pattern recognition, students draw a square around multiples of 6 and a triangle around multiples of 7, which may be less immediately obvious and require more careful calculation or counting in sevens. Multiples of 8 are to be shaded red, multiples of 9 have a dot placed above them, and multiples of 10, which are easy to spot as they end in a zero, are to be coloured in. This activity not only reinforces students' understanding of multiplication and multiples but also enhances their ability to quickly identify patterns and number sequences on a grid, making it a fun and educational exercise for Year 5 students working on their multiplication skills.
