write and calculate
mathematical
statements for
multiplication
using the

write and
calculate
mathematical
statements for
division using
the division
tables that they
know (2,3,4,5,8
and 10)
Pupils develop
efficient mental
methods, for
example, using
commutativity
and
associativity
E.g. 4 × 12 × 5
= 4 × 5 × 12 =
20 × 12 = 240)
Multiply 2-digit x 1digit numbers
e.g. 24 x 4 =
Dividing 2-digit
numbers by 1digit numbers,
e.g. 48÷4
Use mental methods
and jottings.
To develop reliable
written methods
for multiplication.
Starting with
calculations of 2digit x 1-digit
numbers
and progressing to
the formal written
methods using
arrays, repeated
addition and the
grid method.
Use mental
methods and
jottings.
To develop
reliable written
methods for
division. Starting
with calculations
of 2-digit ÷ 1-digit
numbers
Using arrays and
repeated
subtraction
Using
multiplication
and division
facts
E.g. using 3 ×
2 = 6, 6 ÷ 3 = 2
and 2 = 6 ÷ 3
to derive
related facts
E.g. 30 × 2 =
60, 60 ÷ 3 = 20
and 20 = 60 ÷
3
Times tables
Recall and use
multiplication and
division facts for
the 3, 4 and 8
multiplication
tables (Targets)
Continue to develop
knowledge of
multiples of 2,5, 10,
50 and 100.
Pupils continue to
practice their mental
recall of
multiplication tables
when they are
calculating
mathematical
statements in order
to improve fluency.
Ch to use doubling
and halving to
connect the 2, 4 and
8 multiplication
tables.
Problem Solving/Number
puzzles/Investigations
Solve problems,
including in context.
*missing number
problems, involving
multiplication and
division
* positive integer
scaling problems
*Deciding which of
the four operations to
use and why.
*measuring and
scaling contexts, (for
example, four times
as high, eight times as
long etc.)
*Correspondence
problems in which m
objects are connected
to n objects (for
example, 3 hats and 4
coats, how many
different outfits?; 12
sweets shared equally
between 4 children; 4
cakes shared equally
between 8 children).
