Mental multiplication strategies multiplying by 0 and 00 When we multiply any number by 0, a zero goes in the units column and the digits all move one space along to the left. When we multiply any number by 00, a zero goes in both the units and the tens columns and all the digits move two spaces along to the left. Thousands Hundreds Tens Units 4 5 4 5 0 0 4 5 0 0 00 Use the place value tables to multiply these numbers by 0 and 00: a Th H T U b Th H T U 5 4 8 0 00 0 00 c Th H T U 7 Can you see a pattern in each of the tables? 0 00 Use patterns to solve these: a 4 = 4 0 = 4 00 = b 5 = 5 0 = 5 00 = c 8 = 8 0 = 8 00 = E
Mental multiplication strategies multiplying by 0 and 00 How do you multiply by other multiples of 0? Let s look at 8 0. We can use known times tables facts and write this as place value amounts: 8 tens = 6 tens So, 8 0 = 60 Draw lines from the numbers written as place value amounts to the times tables facts: 0 tens 4 tens 6 tens 7 tens tens 6 tens 4 tens 4 4 tens 5 tens 7 tens 6 6 tens 9 tens Write the digit that represents each place value amount: a 0 tens = d 5 tens = g 9 tens = b 6 tens = e tens = h 6 tens = c tens = f 8 tens = i 8 tens = First complete the hints and then use them to write the facts: Hints: Facts: a 4 6 tens = tens 4 60 = b 9 tens = tens 9 0 = c 7 tens = tens 70 = 4 Complete the number wheels: a 7 4 5 0 0 8 9 b 8 6 5 40 7 9 4 4 E
Mental multiplication strategies doubling strategy There are many double facts that you should know. This includes numbers outside the times tables we have been working on. Here are double facts that are handy to know: double 5 is 0 double 50 is 00 Can you think of more? Complete these function machines: a IN OUT 5 0 b -double IN OUT 5 60 Can you see what_ double-double is the_ same as? Yes, that s right,_ it s the same as 4. 4 4 0 0 45 45 8 50 Complete these doubling wheels: 7 8 a 9 b 4 4 5 5 50 E 5
Mental multiplication strategies doubling strategy We also use doubling when we multiply by 4 and by 8. To multiply a number by 4, double it twice. To multiply a number by 8, double it times. 0 4 = 40 0 once 0 0 twice 40 8 = 88 once twice 44 three times 88 Keep doubling to get the 4 and 8 facts. Here are some tables to help you. The first one has been done for you. a 4 = 48 b 5 4 = once 4 twice 48 5 once 5 twice c 8 4 = 8 once 8 twice d 4 = once twice e 6 8 = 6 once 6 twice 6 three times f 5 8 = 5 once 5 twice 5 three times g 8 = In this last table_ choose a -digit_ number to multiply_ by 8 and double it _ three times. once twice three times 6 E
Mental multiplication strategies split strategy The split strategy is when we multiply numbers in pairs and then add the parts. Let s use the split strategy for 6 4. Split 6 into 0 and 6. Multiply each part. Add the answers together. 6 4 0 4 + 6 4 80 + 4 = 04 So, 6 4 = 04 Use the split strategy to answer these: a 4 0 + 4 90 + = So, 4 = b 45 5 + + = So, 45 5 = c 5 4 + + = So, 5 4 = E 7
Mental multiplication strategies compensation Use the compensation strategy to make it easier to multiply -digit numbers that are close to a ten. Look at 4 9. 9 is close to 0, so we can multiply by the next multiple of ten which is 0. Then we build down because we have an extra group of 4. 4 9 4 0 = 80 4 So, 9 4 = 76 Use the compensation strategy to answer these: a 5 9 5 So, 5 9 = b 49 So, 49 = c 4 9 4 So, 4 9 = Use the compensation strategy to answer these questions. _ This time you need to look for more than one extra group _ to subtract: a 4 8 4 We have rounded up_ to 0. So instead of_ 4 8 we have 4 0._ This is more groups_ of 4. So we subtract 8. So, 4 8 = b 7 So, 7 = 8 E
Mental multiplication strategies choose a strategy Roll a die to get the missing number, then use either the split or compensation strategy to get the answer. You can place the numbers rolled on the die in any question. a 5 So, 5 b 6 So, 6 c 49 So, 49 d 58 So, 58 E 9
Mental multiplication strategies doubling and halving We can change the factors of a multiplication question to make it easier. Look at 6. If we halve the largest factor and double the smaller factor, we make an array on the grid that is the same size. Both arrays have the same amount of squares. Count the squares, are they equal to 8 6? 6 Halve 8 6 = 48 Make these problems easier by using doubling and halving. Shade an array for each: a 8 Halve b 4 4 Halve 0 E
Mental multiplication strategies doubling and halving Use the doubling and halving strategy to solve these: a 4 b 48 5 Halve Halve c 6 5 d 64 5 Halve Halve Follow this doubling and halving trail through to the bottom: a Halve b Halve c Halve 8 56 =? 8 5 =? 8 45 =? So, 8 56 = So, 8 5 = So, 8 45 = d What do you notice? E
Division division is sharing and grouping Division can mean sharing or grouping. There are lollies shared between 4 kids. How many are in each share? 4 = There are 6 apples and 4 go into each basket. How many baskets do I need? 6 4 = 4 Solve these sharing and grouping questions: a There are 9 cupcakes and kids are sharing. How many are in each share? = b lollies are shared between a group of kids so they each get. How many kids are sharing? = c There are 4 pencils and 6 pencil pots. How many pencils go into each pencil pot? = E 4
Division division is sharing and grouping Draw pictures to show these division questions. Then write the division fact and decide whether it is a sharing or a grouping question. If you need to find out_ how many items there_ are in each share, it s_ a sharing question. If_ you need to find out the number of equal shares,_ it s a grouping question. a Divide 6 lollies between 4 girls. How many does each girl get? = sharing / grouping b From a packet of 4 pencils, each person will get 6. How many people are sharing the pencils? = sharing / grouping c 48 eggs are laid by 6 hens. If they all laid the same amount, how many did each hen lay? = sharing / grouping E 4
Division division is repeated subtraction Division can also be thought of as repeated subtraction. Look at 0 5 =? This question is asking how many groups of 5 there are in 0. Jump in 5s along the number line and then count the jumps. 6 5 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 0 5 0 5 0 5 0 So, 0 5 = 6 Show these division facts as repeated subtraction. First label the number lines and then show the jumps. a 6 6 = 0 6 b = 0 Write a division fact to match these number lines. Show the jumps. a = 0 4 8 6 0 4 8 b = 0 8 6 4 4 E 4
Division linking multiplication and division facts Knowing multiplication facts will help with division facts. This is because they are opposites. Look at how we can describe this array: 6 4 = 4 6 groups of 4 is 4. 4 6 = 4 4 groups of 6 is 4. 4 4 = 6 4 divided into 4 shares is 6. 4 6 = 4 4 divided into 6 shares is 4. Describe each of these arrays using two multiplication and two division facts: a = = b = = c = = d = = Draw an array of 6 rows of then describe it with multiplication and division facts. This is also called_ a fact family. = = E 4 5
Division linking multiplication and division facts Write a fact family for each set of numbers in the triangle. The first one has been done for you. a 5 7 = 5 5 5 5 = 7 7 5 = 5 7 5 5 7 = 5 b 7 = 9 = c 48 = 6 8 = d 40 = 8 5 = 4 For these problems, think of a multiplication fact to help write the division fact: a 5 is shared between 5 people. How much does each person get? = b 45 people get into 9 cars. How many people are in each car? = 6 E 4
Division remainders Sometimes division is not exact. From, we can make fair shares of 6 with left over. We call the left over the remainder. 6 = remainder In each array, ring the fair shares to see the remainder: a 5 = remainder b 9 6 = remainder c 7 = remainder d 9 = remainder E 4 7
Division remainders Now use your multiplication facts. 5 6 =? Think 4 6 = 4 + is 5 So, 5 6 = 4 remainder Use your multiplication facts to write the division facts and the remainder: a 0 =? Think + is So, = remainder b 0 4 =? Think + is So, = remainder c 7 9 =? Think + is So, = remainder Complete each word problem: a 9 pencils were shared between 6 kids. How many did each kid get? = remainder b 4 fish were divided between 6 tanks. How many fish are in each tank? = remainder c From 7 flowers, 5 flowers were arranged in each vase. How many vases were used? = remainder 4 Write in the missing digit to make this statement true: 6 = 8 remainder 8 E 4
Mental division strategies dividing by 0 and 00 When we divide any number by 0, we move the number one place value space to the right. When we divide any number by 00, we move the number two place value spaces to the right. Thousands Hundreds Tens Units 6 7 0 0 6 7 0 0 6 7 00 Use the place value tables to divide these numbers by 0 and 00. a Th H T U b Th H T U 5 0 0 4 0 0 0 00 0 00 c Th H T U d Th H T U 8 4 0 0 4 0 0 0 00 0 00 Use patterns to solve these: a 400 = 400 0 = 400 00 = b 5 600 = 5 600 0 = 5 600 00 = b 500 = 500 0 = 500 00 = Use a calculator to solve these: a 70 00 = b 49 0 = E 5 9
Mental division strategies halving strategy When you halve numbers you are dividing them by. In this function machine, numbers go IN, have the rule applied and come OUT again. IN 8 4 RULE: Halve OUT 4 6 Complete the halving function machines. Halve the number going IN the machine and write the answer in the OUT column: a IN OUT b IN OUT 80 RULE: 70 RULE: 40 Halve 4 Halve 0 6 c IN OUT d IN OUT 4 RULE: 8 RULE: 90 Halve 50 Halve 60 00 Below is a halving-halving function machine. The number goes IN and is halved and then halved again and comes OUT. IN OUT 00 6 60 RULE: Halve RULE: Halve 0 E 5
Mental division strategies halving strategy We also use halving-halving to divide by 4. Look at these diagrams: Halve 6 once Halve 6 twice 4 8 4 6 4 8 4 Use the tables for halving-halving to divide by 4: a 80 4 = Halve 80 once Halve 80 twice b 48 4 = Halve 48 once Halve 48 twice c 64 4 = Halve 64 once Halve 64 twice d 0 4 = Halve 0 once Halve 0 twice e 44 4 = Halve 44 once Halve 44 twice f 88 4 = Halve 88 once Halve 88 twice 4 Complete the division wheels: a 4 90 4 8 56 0 0 70 b 6 00 5 4 84 60 44 88 E 5
Mental division strategies split strategy Division problems can be much easier to solve if you split the number. Look at 5 5. Can we split the number into two multiples of 5? Yes, we can split 5 into 00 and 5. 5 5 We divide each part by 5 and then add the two answers together. 00 5 5 5 0 + 5 = 5 Use the split strategy to divide these by 5: a 5 5 b 5 5 5 5 + = 5 5 + = Use the split strategy to divide these by 4: a 64 4 b 6 4 4 4 + = 4 4 + = Use the split strategy to divide these by : a 0 b 6 + = + = E 5
Mental division strategies strategy review Review your division strategies. Use either the halving strategy or the split strategy to complete the tables. The first one has been done for you. a Use the split strategy: b Use the halving strategy: 48 = 6 64 4 = 48 is 0 + 8 0 = 0 and 8 = 6 0 + 6 = 6 c Use the split strategy: d Use the halving strategy: = 40 4 = Solve this riddle by matching the letter to the answer.
