  • I thought this one was really hard as some of the answers are really big numbers but it was also fun.
  • VR, SHS 8b1
  •  
  • This would have been better if the answer had a reason? Mrs R cheated!
  • Clive, Southampton
  •  
  • It is important that Maths is presented in context with a reason. In this case the reason is to practice long multiplication in order to be better at mathematics. It is the equivalent of lifting weights in the gym to become stronger!

Note to teacher: Doing this activity once with a class helps students develop strategies. It is only when they do this activity a second time that they will have the opportunity to practise those strategies. That is when the learning is consolidated.

Teacher, do your students have access to computers such as tablets, iPads or Laptops?  This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments:

Transum.org/go/?Start=March21

However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below.

Here is the URL which will take them to a related student activity.
