Amazing Multiplying!
This week, Team Peacock have been learning to multiply. Some of us are consolidating our knowledge of multiplying 1 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers e.g. 7x 3 = , holding up 7 fingers and counting in 3s. Some of us have been learning a new skill. We've learnt to multiply a 1 digit number by a 2 digit number e.g. 37x5= using the grid method. This was very challenging, however we persevered over 2 maths lessons, and the children worked very hard at trying to grasp the new method. We understood it much better by the end of the second lesson and we will continue to practise this method throughout the year. Well done Team Peacock!
