When we compare lists of factors of two or more numbers, any factors that are the same are the common factors.

The distributive law says that multiplying a number by a group of numbers added together is the same as doing each multiplication separately.

Maths

In this unit pupils will use knowledge of distributive law to calculate products beyond known times tables facts In the future unit pupils will explain the relationship between multiplying a number by 10 and multiples of 10 They will explain why a zero can be placed after the final digit when multiplying it by 10 and why the final digit zero can be removed from a multiple of 10 when dividing by 10

In the prior unit pupils explained how each part of a multiplication and division equation related to a story. They partitioned one of the factors in a multiplication equation in different ways using representations. In this unit pupils will use knowledge of distributive law to calculate products beyond known times tables facts.
