Multiplication is just a speedy way of adding. A one-hour Year 2 maths lesson on multiplication and arrays, ages 6 to 7. The lesson covers: equal groups — groups with exactly the same amount; the times sign and why we write 3 × 4 instead of 4 + 4 + 4; building an array in neat rows and columns; why 2 × 5 and 5 × 2 match; and roll-build-and-write array games. Ready-to-teach PowerPoint, no prep.
