The lattice method of multiplication offers several advantages, particularly for students learning multi-digit multiplication. It breaks down the process into smaller, more manageable steps, making it easier to understand and visualize the multiplication of larger numbers. This visual representation can be particularly helpful for students who are visual learners or struggle with traditional long multiplication. Additionally, the lattice method can help reduce errors by clearly organizing the partial products and simplifying the addition process. Here’s a more detailed look at the advantages: Visual Clarity: The grid structure of the lattice method provides a clear visual representation of the multiplication process, making it easier to understand how the partial products are derived. Reduced Cognitive Load: Breaking down the multiplication into smaller, individual steps reduces the cognitive load on the student, making it easier to grasp the concept, especially for larger numbers. Error Reduction: The organized structure of the lattice helps in aligning the partial products correctly, minimizing the chances of errors in the addition stage. Adaptability: The lattice method can be used to multiply numbers of varying sizes, including decimals and even polynomials. Alternative to Long Multiplication: It provides a different approach to long multiplication, which can be beneficial for students who find the traditional method challenging.

An activity/challenge that promotes logical, methodical, systematical thinking that students (in a wide age range) tend to enjoy. Find all the 31 different rectangles ‘hidden’ in a tennis court. Included: A two page worksheet (can be printed back-to-back but is better as 2 separate sheets). PDF and PowerPoint Answers All associated artwork. If you have found this useful please check out my other extensive resource called FINDING TRIANGLES with 50 puzzles

This is an activity that students across a large age range seem to enjoy… It involves setting it them as a CHALLENGE. A challenge to find ALL the triangles in a particular diagram made up of different regions. This can be a full lesson, a series of lessons or simply a lesson starter depending on how you present it to them. It can also be set as an individual, pairs or table activity. It could be made competitive between individuals, pairs or tables. It could form part of a homework? It could form a part of a class display. FULL LESSON It’s main aim will be to get the students to work in a methodical/systematic way. You could give it them and see what they can achieve on their own before showing how they can work smarter in order to find ALL the solutions. There are 50 puzzles to choose from that vary in difficulty so pick the puzzles you think will suitable for your students. The number of solutions per puzzle are in the 5-99 range. While it is generally true that the more solutions there are the more systematic/methodical the students have to be, but some of the mid-range ones between say, 20-40 it will be essential. STARTER OR SHORT ACTIVITY Pick a suitable puzzle, set a time limit and just ask students to find how many triangles are made up of, perhaps 6 regions or 3 and 4 regions. Consult the ‘Puzzle Analysis grids to help you choose) For example: Puzzle 28 has 99 triangles hidden it. Perhaps okay for a group to work on but looking at this table you might ask them to find just the 4 region triangles of which there are 15. Included in the resource An Introduction PowerPoint (14 slides) A 50 page PDF (one puzzle per page) with each page having 12 blank diagrams (with guide lines so they can be cut out individually). A 50 slide PowerPoint showing the solutions. 500+ pieces of CLIP ART (All the BLANK diagrams and individual SOLUTION diagrams) so you can use in your own documents if needed. A puzzle analysis for each puzzle showing the distribution of the number of regions used per triangle.

SEARCH-FIND-COUNT - AT THE BEACH USE INCLUDED POWERPOINT for WHOLE CLASS INVOLVEMENT WORKSHEET AND ANSWERS CAN BE PRINTED VIA POWERPOINT I have not tried this as I am a secondary teacher but I was trying to come up with an idea for a primary college that would make counting ‘more interesting’ . I thought that the main image may be laminated to allow pupils to use a whiteboard marker to cross off/ circle the ones they have found. A tally chart(s) also could be used. I have included all the ARTWORK I have drawn as individual clip-art so that you could use them to create your own PowerPoints, Notebook files etc If it a popular/useful resource, I may make a series with different topics/themes. Please let me know what you think! ALSO SEE SEARCH - FIND - COUNT FARM ANIMALS

PDF &PNG files supplied

The numbers are written with standard index form/scientific notation to make them easier to read and understand. While trillion is an incredibly large number, and the one that is the highest that some people will know about, there are actually many numbers that are larger than it. This poster shows names from Thousand to Googol and a few extra of note.

PRIME NUMBERS LESS THAN 100 - Via PRIME PIXEL PICTURES (set of 25) + more A fun way to learn the prime numbers less than 100 A set of 25 pixel picture puzzles Shade the squares that have prime numbers Identify Prime and Composite (non-prime) numbers 3 levels of difficulty Worksheets (A5/A4) + ANSWERS + blank grids Guidance/Instructions** Prior Knowledge Required Being able to identify some if not all the prime numbers less than 100 unless you use this as an activity for this purpose. This is an activity designed to make the learning of PRIME numbers much easier and I have been surprised, in the past, how successful it has been. Start with the PRACTICE question if needed. For this and ONE STAR PUZZLES the if you work through the grid, starting in the top left hand corner and work left to right and row by row the sequence of PRIME NUMBERS <100 appear IN ORDER. So find 2 and work through to 97 The sequence repeats (partially in some cases) up to the prime needed complete the puzzle Get them to do this methodically - this is how they pick up the sequence ( a printed sequence for them to have alongside may scaffold the initial process). TWO STAR - Same rules but generally a larger grid THREE STAR - Usually a larger grid but primes not in a particular order although some part of the prime sequence may occur. (Find a 2 and it may be next to a 3, then a 5, then a 7 etc etc) I have provided some blank grids for pupils to make up their own puzzles. Draw a picture by colouring in a small grid. Then working with a larger grid get them to write LIGHTLY SHADE their picture onto a big grid In each shaded square they then write a PRIME NUMBER (in sequence at first as in a one star puzzle) which gets them writing out the primes) FILL IN THE REST OF THE GRID WITH NON-PRIME which is an equally IMPORTANT TASK EITHER COPY THIS ONTO ANOTHER BLANK GRID or use COMPUTER and TABLE IN WORD, POWERPOINT or similar to produce a printable puzzle.
