This resource helps children understand that multiplication is simply repeated addition, a key requirement for Year 2 maths. It encourages students to look for patterns, helping them recognise that 3 x 5 is the same as 5 x 3.
To help you assess learning, we have included five questions at the end of the mat:
1. If you have 4 groups of 5, how many do you have altogether?
2. Write the repeated addition for 3 x 2.
3. If each apple costs 2p, how much do 5 apples cost?
4. Is 2 x 10 the same as 10 x 2? Explain why.
5. Draw an array to show 3 x 4.
