Enrichment in Mathematics – Number
Digit Multiplication
Teachers Notes
This could be used as a starter or plenary. The activity would work well as a
paired or group activity. It would be valuable to also encourage pupils to
consider other multiplications that could be created, and still fit with the
description.

Pupils could reach this solution through trial and error, but really the teacher
wants to encourage a systematic approach, which could then be applied to
extend the activity.
