Multiplication grid
It is important to continue practising times table with your child.
Teaching tables ideas:

Once children are comfortable with times tables they need to apply this to the
multiplication of multiples of their times tables eg. Instead of just 3 x 4 = 12, they can
be challenged with 3 x 40 = 120 and 30 x 40 = 1200.

Find the factors of numbers that are multiples of tables. Factors of 15 are 1,3,5 and
15 (1x15, 3x5). Factors of 150 include 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,25,30,50 (1x150, 2x75, 3x50,
5x30, 6x25, 10x15)

Practice combinations of addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (x) and division (÷)
in a countdown style game. Choose 4 numbers from 1 to 10 and one other number
ending in a zero eg. 4, 5, 2, 8, 20. Use any number sign and these numbers only once to
make a target number between 50 and 100 eg. 73 so 4 x 20 = 80, 80 – 5 – 2 = 73
Pencil and paper calculations
Pupils need to develop confidence in written methods for addition and subtraction so that
they are able to solve problems accurately and at speed. You can work on the methods below
with your child. For a more detailed view of our calculation policy see the school website.
Involving your child in shopping transactions is a useful way of practising maths.
