In this lesson, children build on their previous learning of column multiplication. They will multiply up to 3-digits by 2-digits and apply this in a variety of contexts in word problems and multi-step problems. There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.

National Curriculum objectives ·       multiply multi-digit numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long multiplication ·       perform mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers ·       identify common factors, common multiples and prime numbers ·       solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division ·       use estimation to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, an appropriate degree of accuracy

Differentiation There are three levels of differentiation in this pack: ‘working towards,’ ‘expected’ and ‘greater depth’.

Level of this Pack: Age: 10-11  England & Wales: Year 6  Scotland: Primary 6  Rep. Ireland: Fifth Class  Australia: Grade 5  USA: Grade 5
