Ray's New Primary Arithmetic · Lesson XLIX · Unit 5: Multiplication
49. Review of multiplication, and three numbers
Goal: Your child answers any times-table fact to 10 × 10 and multiplies three small numbers.
You'll need
- A slate, small whiteboard or paper and pencil
What's in the book
A two-page review: first pairs of facts such as "How many are 2 times 5?", then three numbers, such as "How many are 2 times 3 times 3?" (worked: 3 times 3 are 9; 2 times 9 are 18).
The lesson, step by step
First page in short rounds
Ask the facts in rounds of five. Put any slow fact on a card.
Three numbers
Show the worked example: 3 times 3 are 9; 2 times 9 are 18. Then work through the second page.
A times-table square
Optional: fill in a 10 × 10 grid together. Your child will see that the patterns repeat.
Afterwards
Spread this lesson over two or three days.
