Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. When you partition and multiply the ones and then the tens you get partial products.
  2. When you add the partial products you calculate the overall product.
  3. Partitioning helps you to organise multiplication.

Common misconception

Pupils may not record partitioned factors as tens and ones leading to incorrect calculation.

Encourage pupils to use the stem sentences to support their thinking. Use the language of ___ tens to support place value.

Keywords

  • Partial product - Any of the multiplication results we get leading up to an overall multiplication result.

As pupils learn additional strategies and layouts for multiplication encourage them to begin to think about which is more appropriate and efficient in different situations.
