This Year 6 Multiplication and Division Mistake Investigators includes a range of reasoning and problem-solving style questions that are similar to questions children could encounter on their SATs papers. The questions are designed to be answered in groups to promote discussion and development of reasoning skills.

The questions cover a range of multiplication and division objectives, such as: identifying common factors, common multiples and prime numbers; multiplying multi-digit numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using long multiplication, and; dividing numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using long multiplication.

If you're looking for something that will help your children develop their skills and help them to become more investigative learners, you're in the right place.
