Maths home learning 23/3/2020

Parent note: We have tried to continue children’s current learning topic at school of multiplication and division. Please ensure work is completed in the yellow exercise book provided. To help the home learning process, we have uploaded some useful resources onto the blog to aid understanding, teaching and learning at home. Here is a useful link which may also help:

Children will be building on their knowledge of multiplication, by exploring the 11 times tables through partitioning and grouping.

Grouping = when we know how many is in each group and we create groups of that size. For example, 3 x 12 means 3 groups of 12.

2 x 11 means 2 groups of 11 objects.

Questioning to ask your child to aid learning:Can you partition 11 and 12 into tens and ones? If you know 11 x 10 is equal to 110, how can I use this to solve 11 x 11? What repeated addition strategy can you use for the 11 times tables?

Learning Activities:Children to fill in the gaps:

If 2 x 11 is the same as 2 x 10 + 2 x 1, how could you explain 4 x 11? Can you draw a picture representation of 4 x 11 using doughnuts? How can you partition 4 x 11 using your 10 times tables and your 1 times table? Draw a picture representation of grouping and partitioning of 6 x 11.

Partition 12 into tens and ones. Using this partitioning, solve using number sentences (sums) and grouping to solve 2 x 12.

Extension: If your child is showing secure understanding of this or if you want to extend your child’s learning further, your child can complete this reasoning task:
