Y5 Y6 Short Multiplication (2 lessons) White Rose Mastery Fluency Bar Models Reasoning

This is a set of 2 lessons based on short multiplication, moving from the basics of multiplication to working out more difficult short multiplication questions.

The first lesson focuses mainly on the process and fluency.

The second lesson moves onto Reasoning and Problem-Solving.

There are 4 activities across both lessons.

Children who are less confident should start with Activity 1 in the first lesson, then move to Activity 2.

Children who are working at Greater Depth should start with Activity 3 in the first lesson, then move onto Activity 4.

There is scope for children to skip activities if they make accelerated progress, i.e. start on Activity 1 but then move onto Activity 3.

There are no repeated questions on the sheets.

The lessons are on ActivInspire flip charts (Promethean) and the worksheets are structured as strips in Microsoft Word, so they are editable.
