1. Multiplying and dividing
[ N1.3 Core Starter]
Complete these multiplication and division grids.
Preamble
Two clear-cut multiplication and division grid activities. An extension might be to try to find the least number of completed cells needed to complete a grid. Children could be invited to construct their own grids. One approach might be to design novel ones such as those whose answers make a sequence or an extreme case might be one where all the answer cells appear to be the same but with all numbers multiplied or divided differently – which can challenge some children.
Possible content
Multiplying and dividing positive and negative integers.
Resources
None, but possibly squared paper to help with the drawing of grids.
