Do you have kinesthetic learners that benefit from a hands-on approach? Check out this Year 6 Multiply up to a 4-Digit Number by a 2-Digit Number Supporting Activity. We've created an activity that uses resources readily available in your classroom to allow children to visually see the maths taking place. Ideally, this would be an adult-led activity and used by a small group of children at a time. With an example of how to complete the task, this can be used by any adult. These have been designed to be quick to set up and easy to pack away again too.

Perfect for use in an intervention group for those who need more support to grasp the concept. Alternatively, this could be used as a whole class activity in a practical session before attempting more abstract calculations.
