Consolidation of Steps 6-8 Year 4 Multiplication and Division Learning Video Clip

The Vikings Estrid and Bjørn plan a feast to celebrate capturing a new farm. They debate how many berries need to be in each basket to reach a given total, and Estrid has to solve multiplication calculations to see how many extra eggs they need. Bjørn checks the cooks’ 3-digit multiplication calculations before he and Estrid use division to work out if there will be fewer adults than children on the tables at the feast. Finally, Bjørn needs help working out how to get the largest portion of food at the feast.
