Step 3 Objective

Extend efficient written methods to short multiplication of HTU or UT by U.


Examples of what pupils should know and be able to do

Use the grid method, e.g.
346 × 9 is approximately 350 × 10 = 3500

346 times 9 = (300 times 9) + (40 times 9) + (6 times 9)

Use partitioning, e.g.
346 × 9 is approximately 350 × 10 = 3500

                 

346 times 9 = (300 times 9) plus (40 times 9) plus (6 times 9) = 3114
