Maths: Multiplication Magic

 Multiplication Magic

We are learning to use place value to solve multiplication problems using whole numbers.

A factor is…. Something you can times it with to make up that certain number.

Factors of 24: 1, 6, 4, 12

Factors of 30: 6, 5, 10, 3

A Multiple is…. Counting in that number, like 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54 ,60

42 =16

√49 =7

25 x 8 =200

20 x 8 = 160

5 x 8 = 40


25 x 15 = 375

20 x 15 = 300

5 x 15 = 75

Show your working under each problem:
