Think Addition Strategy to do Subtraction mental math 2 Presentations & 8 Worksheets - Think-addition-to-do-subtraction is a mental math strategy that introduces students to the concept that there is an inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. You think of an addition fact in the same fact family. For example, you can solve 10 - 4 = ? by thinking 4 + ? = 10 and knowing that 4 + 6 = 10. I made these two PowerPoints to help my grade 3 class (ages 8 & 9) with the think-addition strategy. Many of my students this year are slow to recall number-bond facts, and therefore this has hopefully helped them to see the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. Could well be used in earlier grades. 1 PowerPoint of 25 sums with matching circles being added and taken away: mainly for subtraction sums between 10-20, but also has 4 slides for facts to 10. Slides can of course be hidden and order rearranged. 2nd PowerPoint of 20 larger sums with no circles: variety of examples within 100. Comes with seven subtraction think addition worksheets in PDF format of increasing difficulty, and 1 editable microsoft word worksheet.

Visual Multiplication. See video. This PowerPoint is designed to introduce young students to multiplication visually with the use of multiplication input tables. All facts for the 2, 5 and 10 times tables presented plus 16 other mixed facts. A total of 43 multiplication examples. Different clipart themes for each of the 43 examples allowing for different story scenarios. (e.g. 3x5 uses 3 types of birds with 5 birds in each group) Matching turnaround facts are linked to from each slide. Chosen facts can be directly jumped to from menu slide. Multiplication sum, movement of items from small groups to one large group, and answer controlled by click of the mouse. Designed by a teacher and used in real grade 1 and 2 classrooms.

Repeated addition, arrays and multiplication resources to help children understand the concepts of repeated addition, arrays and multiplication. 2 PowerPoints (2 facts & 5 facts) clearly demonstrate repeated addition and logically introduce groups of items, and then arrays. Includes 12 worksheet activities thoughtfully designed to allow students to develop repeated addition and multiplication skills and understanding. Worksheets include matching activities, cut and sticks, drawing, a booklet to make arrays and other helpful activities. (Most examples focus on the 2s, 5s and 10s facts - some worksheets are differentiated with more challenging examples) Perfect for years 1 and 2.

8 Mental Strategies for Multiplication These thoughtfully made PowerPoints are carefully designed to help students grasp commonly taught multiplication strategies ( and tricks) for x0, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x8, and x9 times tables. Ideal for years 3 and 4, but also helpful for year 5 and 6. To multiply by 2 = double the number To multiply by 3 = double the number and add a set To multiply by 4 = double, then double again. To multiply by 5 = multiply by 10 then halve To multiply by 8 = double-double-double To multiply by 9 = use your fingers/ the digits of answer added = 9 To multiply by 0 = the answer is always 0 To multiply by 1 = the answer is always that same number. All the PowerPoints include examples to 12 and extensions to large multiplications to show that the strategy really comes in useful for doing tricky mental multiplication. Please see video for a taster. All slide animations are activated when you click the mouse, giving teacher and student thinking and explaining time. Video is sped up to get through the examples. Includes some supporting, differentiated worksheets

First slide is ‘times zero’ times table and shows a fixed golden zero with sum twisting in and out. Emphasizing the rule that; “When you multiply a number by zero, the answer is always zero” Second slide is ‘times one’ times table and shows the multiplicand (the number being multiplied) emerging from itself and sliding over to the product (the answer) Emphasizing the rule that; “Any Number Times One is that Number / 1 x anything = itself”

Compensation Strategy for Mental Subtraction. By visually illustrating the mental subtraction strategy of compensation by using moving base ten blocks and a bin my students where able to better understand how answers are adjusted by adding back or subtracting more and therefore compensating for the rounding which made the question easier. PowerPoint includes 5 examples with base ten blocks and 5 matching slides with matching sums but just the thought process and 2 additional examples without base ten blocks to help learners move from a pictorial representation to an abstract one. Download includes a double sided worksheet based around the PowerPoint teaching.

Three rimes table trick with arrays to help with the three times table multiplication strategy . This clear, step-by-step and helpful PowerPoint will help students learn that multiplication by 3 can be done by doubling and adding another set. e.g. to calculate 3 × 14: first double 14 getting 28, then add another 14, (to get 3 times 14) which is 42. 21 Examples are presented (from 3 x 2 up to 3 x 21) in order, or from a hyperlink menu. Each slide shows the sum and a confused face, Then two lines of the matching array (showing the doubling array) Then another set (another line of the array) is added Whilst the matching thought process is shown with clear sums. Finally everything apart from the x3 sum and array dissolve out, leaving just the sum, the answer and the x3 array. Each part of the thought multiplication strategy is presented when you click the mouse, giving students time to work out and explain each step. Includes 3 level differentiated mathcing sylte worksheets and skip counting x3 worksheets.

An introduction of the ‘think multiplication strategy’ to help with division. An animated, interactive PowerPoint presentation with arrays of dots to help students visualize related multiplication and division facts. A partially covered array showing only the number of rows in an array, but not the number of dots in each row is shown, along with a matching fact statement (e.g. “Altogether there are 40 dots”) Students are encouraged to give the multiplication sentence AND related division sentence using the information shown (total number of dots & number of rows/groups) that helps work out the array proportions. e.g. 5 x ? = 40 and 40 ÷ 5= ?. 14 example arrays. Includes 3 level differentiated division / multiplication worksheet in same style, plus colour matching facts for all tables x2-x10

Grid Method / Place Value PowerPoint uses arrays and smiley faces to show the mental multiplication strategy of using place value and knowledge of multiplication to work out a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number - with exchange (such as 8 x 35, 9 x 33 etc.). No text to read or get distracted by. 12 examples which build from 4 x 18 & 3 x 22 on the first two slides up to 9 x 33 & 8 x 83 on the last two slides. All slides follow the same animations: *Array and multiplication problem is shown. Confused smiley bounces in (teacher explains that if you don’t know your 83 times table you’re going to be confused) *array changes to show place value calculations. *Confused face is replaced by a happy face as he can now do the multiplication problem. 12 examples clearly help grade 3,4 or 5 students master and understand this important skill. With matching differentiate worksheets for multiplying 2-digit number by a 1-digit number.

Input-Output Tables to help relate multiplication and division. PowerPoint focuses on building a connection between multiplication and division operations using an active model to reinforce the connection between the two operations. Visual of the relationship between division and multiplication using input and output tables to show that division is sharing and multiplication is combining. The PowerPoint is designed to encourage students to combine equal groups of clipart images to make a total (multiplication), as well as share a collection to form equal groups (division). The PowerPoint uses a variety of public domain clipart images to act out a multiplication or division problems to encourage students to determine the total and reverse the action to determine the quotient and vice versa. Your students can make up little stories to help them understand each operation. x3/÷3 & x4/÷4 Facts used (28 slides). Includes differentiated worksheets for 3’s and 4’s facts
