Marvellous Multiplication

 Today in Maths, we started our new focus: Multiplication and Division. We started with Multiplication. We used unifix cubes to create arrays or groupings of different multiplication calculations.

Here you can see 3 x 7 = 21. This group has made 3 groups of 7 and counted all of the cubes for 21. 

Here you can see 12 x 6 = 72. The green cubes show 10 and the other colours show 1. We have counted in 10s to find 60 and 1s to find 12, and add them together. 

Finally, we went to our whiteboards and did some of our own calculations using the cubes and drawings.

Now we are ready to go into our books tomorrow!
