This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
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.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to use short multiplication to record regrouping from the 1s to the 10s.
Key Notes
- If the product of the ones digit is greater than 10, you regroup ten ones into one ten.
- Record the additional ten or tens as a small digit to be added in with the tens.
- Short multiplication results in only one product being recorded.
- There are similarities and differences between the expanded recording and short multiplication.
Vocabulary To Learn
- Short multiplication: A method using columns to set out and calculate a multiplication is short multiplication.
- Regrouping: The process of unitising and exchanging between place values is known as regrouping.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils may not align or regroup correctly leading to an inaccurate calculation.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Solve this in steps: explain the method from this lesson and why each step matters.
If the product of the ones digit is greater than 10, you regroup ten ones into one ten. Record the additional ten or tens as a small digit to be added in with the tens.
2. Use this key word in a maths sentence and explain it clearly. 'Short multiplication'
A method using columns to set out and calculate a multiplication is short multiplication. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
3. Spot and fix this common maths mistake.
Mistake: Pupils may not align or regroup correctly leading to an inaccurate calculation. Correction: Ask children about the additional ten or tens as a small digit to be added in with the tens. What does this show? What is the value?
