Skill: I can multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number.

Today we will explore further multiplication. Today’s Maths task is a little bit more challenging, so please do not worry if you find it tricky at first. Your times tables will help you very much today!

In this example, there are 4 lots of 20 oranges, so that is 4 × 20.
We can use 4 × 2 = 8 to help us solve 4 × 20.
First, you can do 4 × 2 and then you can times this by 10.
So 4 x 2 = 8 therefore 4 x 20 = 80.

Have a go at the Guided Practice above using this method.

Method 1 focuses on the 4 boxes with 12 doughnuts in each box. So you can add 12 four times: 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48.

Method 2 multiplies 12 by 4.
You can break down the number using tens and ones.
So think of 12 as a 10 and 2 ones.
We can multiply the ones and tens by 4 and then add the numbers together.
So 4 x 2 =8 and 4 x 10 = 40.
So altogether 12 × 4 = 40 + 8 = 48.
