This Year 2 Multiplication and Division Mistake Investigators resource offers a variety of carefully structured questions designed to strengthen children’s reasoning and problem-solving skills by identifying and explaining mistakes.

Each objective includes four questions: one correct answer and three incorrect options. Children are encouraged to spot the mistakes, decide which answer is correct and explain their thinking.

The questions are intended for group work to spark discussion and collaborative learning. They cover key multiplication and division objectives using the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, including recall of multiplication facts, completing multiplication and division calculations, identifying odd and even numbers, problem solving using multiplication and division and the commutative nature of multiplication. A range of visual representations are provided to support children's thinking.
