Maths

In this unit pupils will learn to multiply a 3-digit number by a single-digit number using expanded and short multiplication.  In the future unit pupils will learn why the product stays the same when one factor is doubled and the other is halved and explain the effect on the product when scaling the factors by the same amount.

In the prior unit pupils multiplied a 2-digit number by a single-digit number using partitioning and representations and used expanded multiplication and short multiplication. In this unit pupils will multiply a 3-digit number by a single-digit number using expanded and short multiplication.
