Maths in Term 4
This term we will begin by reviewing the informal and formal methods for multiplying 2 numbers by a single digit and apply this to multiplying 3 digit numbers by a single digit.
Area model:
Expanded column multiplication:
Compact column multiplication:
We will then move on to learning informal and formal methods for dividing 2-digit and 3 digit numbers by a single digit.
Partitioning:
Short algorithm:
Our next unit will focus on counting in 7's and 12's; exploring the relationship between adjacent facts in our 7 and 12 times tables and using known times table facts to help us solve problems involving the 7 and 12 times tables, including division.
Finally, we will use multiplication to find the area of rectilinear and composite rectilinear shapes, and use division to solve associated inverse problems.
Alongside our maths units for term 4. We will be working hard to consolidate and develop our multiplication skills for all times table facts up to 12 x 12.

What can parents do to support learning at home?
- Ensure children are secure with their times table knowledge up to 12x12. This supports understanding in so many areas of maths.
- Practise quick recall of number bonds to 10, 20 and 100 - the more confident they are with this, the better!
- Help children to secure their written methods of calculation (please follow the schools calculation policy for this).
- Help children to recognise the value of numbers up to 10,000 - what is the value of the digit 5 in 4567?
- Ensure children can explain how they know their answers. I know this because... This shows...
