Hypatias Tuesday


WARM UP
Check with Mr Phillips once you have finished your warmup.

LI to multiply using part whole strategy
5a)
Holly planted 5 rows of carrots with 30 carrots in each row.
How many carrots is this altogether?

5 x 30 = is not a question that we generally learn in our times tables, but there is one in there that we do know.
5x3= 15 and then we put the place value back in, because that 3 was actually 30, so the answer isn't 15, but 150 carrots.

Another way is to break apart the 30 into three 10s. We know 5x10=50 so we just need three 50s.
Because we already know that multiplication is repeated addition (50+50+50)=(3x50).
