Multiplication using concrete resources in Year 4
In Maths we have been investigating the laws of distributivity and the commutative law in multiplication. We used counters to fine factor pairs for different numbers....

We made a ‘staircase’ of numbers to 5 and played a game of who’s missing to help with our knowledge of composition of numbers and quick number recognition....
We have been learning to compare the size of groups using key mathematical language such as more, greater than, less, fewer and same. In this picture, we were playing a hidden card game that helped us to identify which group had more and which group...
We have been subtracting using the part whole model and concrete resources. We learnt that the whole, subtract one of the parts is equal to the other part! We think part whole models are brilliant! ...
We have been learning all about multiplication! We began by looking at multiplying by 2 and then moved onto multiplying by 10 and 5. We used different resources to help us count in 2s before moving onto having a go in our heads. Bead strings...
We have been learning about measuring mass in mathematics. We have been estimating and then weighing objects from around our classroom accurately using weighing scales. We have been learning about how to use the right units of measure as well as how to read intervals...
In our Maths lessons we have been learning about units of measure, particularly centimetres and metres. We had lots of fun finding different objects to measure around our classroom....
We have been learning all about different shapes and their properties. We have also learnt some excellent shape songs to help us remember their names. Ask us to sing them to you! ...
In maths, we have been learning to add and subtract multiples of ten. We used different methods to help us find the answers including dienes, number lines and counters....
We have been continuing to explore shapes. We have been extending our knowledge by naming these and explaining some of their features. We have been using words such as 'sides', 'corners', 'pointy', 'round' and 'flat' to identify and describe them. We have been using our...
