Max Maths, Year 5, Try it, Multiplication review(2)

In the Max Maths Year 5 curriculum, students are invited to review their multiplication skills through an engaging and interactive activity. The task, as outlined on page 82 of the student book, requires students to use a times tables chart provided on page 80 as a visual aid to identify and mark various sets of multiples and square numbers. Students are instructed to circle the multiples of 6, enhancing their familiarity with this particular times table. Additionally, they are asked to draw a square around the multiples of 7, which not only reinforces their multiplication skills but also their recognition of patterns within the chart.

The activity continues with further instructions to underline the multiples of 8, providing a visual distinction that helps students differentiate between the sets of numbers. To further test their knowledge, students are then tasked with drawing a triangle around the multiples of 9, which offers a comprehensive review of these times tables. Lastly, the instruction to colour the square numbers allows students to explore the concept of square numbers and their properties. This multi-faceted approach to learning ensures that students are engaging with the material in a variety of ways, thereby catering to different learning styles. After completing this exercise, students are directed to continue their practice on workbook page 73, ensuring a thorough reinforcement of the concepts covered.
