Number representations

Use partitioning and place value to multiply 2-, 3- and 4-digit numbers by one-digit numbers

Use mental strategies to multiply one-digit numbers by 10, 100, 1000 and their multiples
Estimate the product of 2 numbers (one-digit by 2- or 3-digit numbers) using multiples of 10 or 100
Use informal written strategies such as the area model to solve multiplication and division problems

Print and cut out playing cards (ensure you print enough copies for there to be one card per student)
Mark a playing area

Players move around a playing area and find all matching cards with the same numerical answer, shown through different representations.

Teacher gives each student a playing card.
Teacher calls out a locomotor skill for students to use to move around marked space.
When whistle is blown students must move to find student with matching numerical answers.
Students record different representations in their workbook.
Challenge students to create another array to display the number.
Teacher collects playing cards and redistributes to play again, naming different locomotor skills each time.
