Describing an Encourage children to rearrange arrays in different rows. Y2 Begin to interpret situations as multiplication calculations and explain reasoning, eg, There are 3 bags with 5 sweets in each bag. How many sweets are there altogether? Repeated addition can be shown easily on a bead string and also on a number line. With developing recall of multiplication facts, steps in mental multiplication can be recorded by jumping on a number line. 4 x 5 = 20 (read as 4 lots of 5) Commutativity - Commutative law should be introduced and children should know that 3 x 5 is equal to 5 x 3.
