In Maths this year, Year 4 have been focusing on how we can quickly recall multiplication and division facts. We have spent time recapping and learning new times tables, but we have also been looking at speedy strategies to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1,000. We explored how the place value of digits are affected when this happens and have practiced by moving numbers along a place value chart. After, we played an active maths game where each player represented either multiplying or dividing by 10, 100 or 1,00 and had to quickly give their final answer in the time it takes to catch a bean bag!
