Two double lessons that focus on introducing and securing the concept of multiplying by a 2-digit number using a written method.
The first double lesson focuses on being able to multiply 3-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers before moving on in the next set of double lessons to multiplying 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. In both double lessons and activities, there is work practising multiplying by a 1-digit number and then using that same 1-digit number as part of a 2-digit number to support the transition and understanding.
Included in both sets of double lessons are a double lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter for each lesson, key vocabulary, discussion points and practices. There is then an activity that includes an answer sheet and challenge questions for anyone that finishes with answers again included.
A multiplication grid is also included to support where necessary.

Two double lessons that focus on securing the concept of written division in Year 5 using a written method and using remainders in context.
The first double lesson focuses on being able to continue practising using written division with 4-digit numbers divided by 1-digit as well as looking at being able to apply remainders in a context where they need to either add another group on or remove the remainder to get the answer.
The second double lesson then continues to provide the chance to practise written division as well as then looking at remainders in terms of money and measurement and being able to create a decimal answer.
