Year 5 - Maths
Multiplication by partitioning leading to short multiplication (2 by 1-digit)
In this unit pupils will multiply a 2-digit number by a single-digit number using partitioning and representations using expanded multiplication and using short multiplication.
You will learn to use expanded multiplication to record regrouping from the 10s to the 100s.
If the product of the single digit and the tens number is greater than 100 then you regroup ten tens into one hundred. If the product of the single digit and the tens number is greater than 100 the partial product will be a 3-digit number.
Expanded multiplication is a way of recording the steps focusing on partitioning one or more factors and showing partial products. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
Mistake: Pupils may not align or regroup correctly leading to an inaccurate calculation. Correction: Model accurately what happens when we regroup from 10s to 100s. Why did this happen? How do we record this?
