In this Year 4 Informal Written Methods for Multiplication Teaching PPT, children explore a range of informal methods to multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number. They are supported with a variety of representations, including place value charts, Base 10 equipment, number lines and part-whole models. These visuals help pupils link repeated addition to multiplication, partition tens and ones and apply their understanding of multiplying by 10.

The PPT is organised into Let’s Learn sections, where new ideas and vocabulary are modelled, and Let’s Practise sections, where pupils can apply their learning through short, focused activities.

Reasoning and problem-solving challenges are included to deepen understanding and encourage children to apply their learning in different contexts.
