About this resource

The lesson introduces the concept of multiplying by 1 and 0 using a function machine and base ten resources, helping children understand that multiplying by 1 keeps the number unchanged while multiplying by 0 always results in 0. Engaging activities include sticky label reasoning questions, interactive true or false challenges with whiteboards, and opportunities to address common misconceptions, such as confusing multiplication with addition or misunderstanding the effects of multiplying by 0 and 1. Perfect for teachers looking for a structured, hands-on approach to reinforce fundamental arithmetic skills with Year 4 students.Read more
