NUMBER
Create and use arrays to solve
multiplication problems.

APPLICATION

Vocab: counting patterns,

groups of, multiplication, times,
altogether, total, turnarounds,
arrays.
Introduction: Play How Many
Numbers in a Minute game (2s
and 5s patterns).

Observation of Maths
Consultant Chris
Botheras in Daniel
Monloneys room.
Focus:
Differentiating the
Maths curriculum within

number dates are on.

NEW
INFORMATION

Using Nelson 2, NTO 1Counters, roll 2 dice. 1st dice

roll is how many rows, 2nd dice
roll is how many in each row.
Drag counters across to make
array. Use counting patterns to
count total. Record written
sentence. Arrays help us find out
quickly, how many counters
altogether.

How many days in a week?

Have individual children use
post-its to highlight a week.
How many days in a month?
Mark each new week with a
post-it. How many weeks in this

Introduction: Children to
plany How Many Numbers
in a Minute? starting from
a non-zero starting point for
10s and 5s.
Teacher to have some
worded multiplication
problems on board.
Underline the key
information needed to work
out how to solve the
problem. Ask individual
children to drag counters on
IWB (Nelson 2, NTO1Counters) to model the
problem as an array.

APPLICATION

Children to have small white

boards and counters. Roll their
10 sided dice twice. 1st roll,
record how many rows on

real world. Cut and paste onto
coloured sheet. Collect for
classroom display.

Children to have a collection

Introduction: Have a large
Cadburys Chocolate block. Ask
children what they notice about
the chocolate block (organised

How can this array help us know
how many pieces there are?
How can we make sure that
everybody gets the same number
of pieces?
Work out how many rows and
columns and therefore, how
many pieces. How many
children in grade? Sort into
equal shares. Give each child
their pieces to eat.
