Introduce reasoning about multiplication to your children using this Year 3 Reasoning about Multiplication teaching resource.

This teaching sequence begins by looking at what multiplying means, using visual representations to support. The learning then moves on to looking at comparing two multiplication calculations and how to identify which calculation is the largest or the smallest without having to calculate. This slideshow then focuses on this in relation to division.

Ideal for use as part of your whole-class teaching sequence, this resource is supported by our other resources for this lesson, too, especially if your class need more practice. We have varied fluency worksheets, reasoning and problem-solving worksheets, discussion problems, and much more!
