Maths: mental multiplication

Today we practised our mental multiplication strategies again. As yesterday, I have shown two strategies on the boards, but with different examples in each case. The top board shows partitioning, where we multiply the tens and the units separately, and then add.

The second board shows doubling. If you double a number, and double it again, you have multiplied it by 4.
