Multi-Digit Multiplication, Factors & Multiples
Multiply multi-digit whole numbers using models and algorithms, and understand the factor/multiple structure of numbers.
Multiply any whole number by 10, 100 or 1,000 by moving every digit 1, 2 or 3 places left.
Multiply tens and hundreds by using a fact you know and saying the unit of the answer.
Estimate a product in three steps - round, multiply, say about - and use the estimate to check an answer.
Multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number with an area model: split, multiply each box, add the boxes.
Multiply a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number: split into hundreds, tens and ones, write the partial products as a list, add.
Multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number in a column: multiply the ones, carry the tens, multiply the tens, add the carry.
Multiply a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number in a column, with carries in more than one place and zeros inside.
Multiply two 2-digit numbers with a four-box area model: split both numbers, multiply each part by each part, add the boxes.
Multiply two 2-digit numbers in a long column: row 1 by the ones digit, row 2 by the tens digit with a placeholder zero, then add.
Multiply with a lattice: one cell for every pair of digits, tens above and ones below, then add along the diagonals.
Find all the factors of a number by writing factor pairs, and meet the square numbers up to 15 × 15.
Find multiples by counting in steps, decide whether a number is a multiple, and tell factors from multiples.
Tell prime numbers from composite numbers up to 200 by trying the tables and counting factors.
Choose a method, estimate first and check: a capstone on multiplying, factors, multiples and primes.
