This week, Year 4 have started column multiplication! I’ve been so impressed with how quickly your children have grasped it.
We broke the process into three key steps:
1. Multiply the ones.
2. Multiply the tens and add any exchanges.
3. Multiply the hundreds and add any exchanges.
We’ve had a fantastic week in maths and look forward to seeing the children apply their column multiplication skills in worded problems next week!
Help at home: watch this video (column multiplication) of me showing you the column multiplication process and ask your children to complete these calculations:
- 532 x 7 =
- 283 x 9 =
- 538 x 3 =
- 379 x 4 =
- 247 x 9 =
