Practical Multiplication

Today the P4 children explored multiplying by 2 and 5 by using practical materials. They looked at the calculations and identified which number tells us how many groups there should be and which number tells us how many objects need to be in each group. They really enjoyed exploring this and explored multiplying by 2 and 5 beyond their timetables! It didn’t take long for them to learn their tables and how to work out larger multiplications, Miss O’Riordan was very impressed!! 👍
