Maths - Multiplying 1 digit and 2 digit numbers

The Octopuses have been teaching the Starfish to multiply 2 digit numbers using a strategy that we called 'Molly the multiplier'

We split numbers into parts.

46 x 8 =

46 Becomes 40 and 6.

Then we multiply 40 x 8= and 6 x 8 = 

And we add the two answers together  320 + 48 =

See Sybil, Micah, Deasy and Rudra using Molly the multiplier.

Miss A even makes a mistake. Lucky for her, Room 4 are super brainy learners!
