Year 5 Objectives: Recall quickly multiplication facts up to 10

x10 and use them to multiply pairs of multiples of 10 and 100; derive quickly corresponding division facts (Knowing and using number facts)

Plan and pursue an enquiry; present evidence by collecting, organising and interpreting information; suggest extensions to the enquiry (Using and Applying)

Think of numbers that add to 10. Now put those numbers into a multiplication algorithm. What is the biggest number you can generate?

Relate “10” to APP
