Multiplication and Division
Vocabulary:Equal, arrays, double, group, sharing |
This term we begin our new unit of multiplication division. In this unit we will recap counting in our 2s and 5s and begin to count in our 10s. We will also focus on making equal groups and adding equal groups. For example, 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8. We will then introduce arrays. An array in maths is an arrangement of objects, numbers or pictures in columns or rows. The purpose of an array is to help children understand multiplication and division. Towards the end of the unit we will look at making doubles, making equal groups and sharing equally.

White Rose Maths App:
Children are expected to do 10 minutes a day on the 1-Minute Maths app that has been brought out by WRM.
There are a range of tasks for the children to go on such as: subitising (recognising an amount by looking at it), addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Miss Smith will inform parents via Scholarpack as to which task the children need to focus on that week. Using this app for 10 minutes a day will support your child in building greater number confidence and fluency.
